Pete Wicks divides Strictly fans with 'controversial' outfit that left viewers 'feeling a little icky'

It was a bold choice, let's see if it paid off

Strictly Come Dancing fans enjoyed a treat in Blackpool this weekend, but one of the outfits on display had them thinking it might have been a little bit much.

That's rather the name of the game when it comes to Strictly outfits, surely the point is to be loud, eye catching and dramatic?

As long as you can actually move around in them then a dancer ought to dress themselves in plenty of glitz and glamour, but when Pete Wicks and partner Jowita Przysta stepped out onto the Blackpool dancefloor to boogie on down to 'I'm Too Sexy' by Right Said Fred, there were plenty of comments about his attire.

For his outfit, Wicks was wearing a bright pink fur coat and matching PVC trousers.

Considering how snug a fit his trousers appeared to be, it's quite impressive that Wicks was able to pull off his subsequent dance number.

Some fans weren't best pleased as they said the costume 'made me feel a little icky' and protested 'MY EYES, MY EYES', but we perhaps ought to salute someone who can pull off a Strictly number when their leg movements are so restricted.

Others joked that Wicks' pants must have been a nightmare to put on in the first place.

Sadly, the routine didn't get much approval from Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood, who gave the pair a score of just four.

However, they picked up a seven and a pair of eights to bring the total to 27. Though, in terms of judge scores, they did end up rock bottom and might need some help from public votes to keep them in the competition.

Elsewhere on Strictly's Blackpool special, actor Jamie Borthwick and his partner Michelle Tsiakkas danced a tomato ketchup-themed jive where they ended up being surrounded by dancing jars of ketchup and mustard.

One viewer wondered what it must be like to be 'training endlessly' as a dancer and then 'get your Blackpool Strictly moment dressed as f**king ketchup or mustard', but they seemed to be having a good time of it.

There was also much love for Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell, who picked up a pair of 10 scores from the judges.

Comedian and actor Chris is Strictly's first visually impaired contestant and fans said they 'couldn't think of a better couple' and loved the 'unadulterated joy' from the dancers after they finished their routine.

Strictly Come Dancing: The Results will air on BBC One tonight (17 November).
