It was a clean sweep by the judges who all chose to save Tasha and send Pete home. Strictly viewers took to social media to voice their opinion on Pete’s departure and many having a change of heart about the reality star. One post said: “I really wasn’t keen on Pete at the start of #Strictly. But I stand corrected. He’s a sweetheart. Definitely went out on a high, that Argentine Tango was.”
Another added: “Pete, you are such a genuine and lovely man, and your improvement through this series has been remarkable. Yes, technically, I have often been highly critical, but you have truly improved and won people’s hearts. Sending love to you.”
Further commenters added “Pete keeps going on about not wanting to be on Strictly, yet here he is….he even slated himself and kept saying he can’t dance, he suddenly believed in himself though.”
When asked by host Tess Daly about his time in the competition, Pete said: “It’s been wild. I’ve been quite honest about the fact that I didn’t necessarily want to do this [Strictly] in the first place, but everyone else wanted me to do it, and I am so, so glad that I did it!
“You don’t always have to be the best, but if you enjoy something then why shouldn’t you have a go at it? I’ve tried my best from day one, I said I was in for a penny, in for a pound and I’ve done it, it’s been beautiful.”
