Another Twitter user remarked: "I really loved that one but Pete's trousers were a bit too tight for comfort #strictly."
One viewer added: "Pete Wicks has been royally stitched up with this week's song and costume! A bit of a shame to go back to silly after his couple's choice."
"Poor Pete was stitched up completely this week but he's got my votes," sympathised one fan.
While another exclaimed: "OH PETE THE ICON YOU ARE."

Upon completing his routine, host Tess Daley could barely hold back her chuckles as she observed: "Pete, Pete, Pete, you've changed!"
Amid laughter, and as his sparkling pink hat hit the deck, Pete quipped back, feigning ignorance to Tess's comment.
He responded: "When people say to me that Strictly changes you, I imagine this is not what they thought I was going to end up as.
Describing his outfit as 'perfection,' it was then time to gauge the judges' reactions to his performance, though Shirley Ballas couldn't contain her laughter.
Overcome with giggles and somewhat flushed, she exclaimed: "Oh my god, Oh, let me think. You know what, calm myself down, you had some very good isolation. You had a very clean neckline. Isolation of the upper half of the body.
"Your hips were swinging left and right, I mean it was very entertaining. I don't think I'm ever going to forget this evening for as long as I live darling, well done!"
Next to her, Anton Due Beke humorously fanned Shirley with his hands to help her recover from Pete's electrifying performance.
In the scoring segment, Pete and Jowita received a total of 27 points for their dance.
