STRICTLY fans ‘know’ which celebrity is going to be voted out next after spotting an ‘unfair’ decision.
Wynne Evans was the latest to be voted off the BBC show after Blackpool week.
Montell Douglas, Pete Wicks, Chris McCausland, JB Gill, Jamie Borthwick, Sarah Hadland and Tasha Ghouri are the ones left fighting to get their hands on the glitterball trophy.
But a lot of viewers think that former Towie star Pete might miss out because of one thing.
Strictly fans think that being dubbed the “joke act” could cost him winning the competition.
One wrote on X: “We are losing how well Pete Wicks is progressing due to some awful music choices. Pete shined bright in weeks 4, 6 and 8 so hopefully next week he won’t be portrayed as the joke #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly.”
“It’s a shame they are making Pete the joke act, when he’s actually not the worst dancer,” another wrote on the platform.
A third asked: “Can you give Pete a decent dance with decent music & decent outfit now please? He doesn’t need to be the joke act.”
A fourth chimed in: “Just catching up on #Strictly and I’m just flabbergasted at Pete! The poor man is being treated like a fool with the terrible music, yet he’s really trying to nail the technique in each dance. Loved him tonight, but can they stop treating him like the joke act now?!”
A fifth fumed: “The producers need to stop making pete the joke contestant. it’s totally unfair on him & jowita and all the progress he has made so far!!”
“Actually feel sorry for Pete. Why do they keep giving him shit songs, awful outfits and treating him like the joke act!!,” a sixth confessed.
Meanwhile others worked out the ‘real reason’ why the tatted hunk was saved from the dance off last week.
The reality star landed at the bottom of the leader board after his rendition of the Cha Cha.
Many think that Pete’s costume – which included skintight pink PVC trousers – is what saved him.
Writing on social media, one said: “I can only assume people were voting for the pink trousers as it sure as hell wasn’t the dancing!”
Someone else wrote: “So how the hell did Pink Pete not be in the dance-off?

“His Cha Cha was the worst dance of the night! Must have been the Pink trousers that won it for him.”
And a third added: “Please vote for the dancing, not the pink trousers! He was shocking.”
Some also slammed head judge Shirley Ballas for ‘objectifying’ Pete.
While others called for Shirley to be axed for ‘over-scoring’ him.
After Shirley gave them an eight, one wrote: “Need Shirley to leave after this series. So f****** unprofessional. Pete gets ‘very entertaining’ for that.”
Another said: “Shirley losing all credibility as a judge.”
“No matter what Pete does Shirley praises him,” a third added.
