Strictly's Pete Wicks should be 'absolutely nowhere near' Blackpool Week
He can't believe he's made it this deep into the competition.
What did you miss?
Strictly Come Dancing's results episode saw Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu's Glitterball dream crumble on Sunday, 10 November, as the ballroom show readies itself for Blackpool Week.
Before their elimination was confirmed, though, Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał spoke to co-host Claudia Winkleman about making it to this prestigious round of the competition.
According to the TOWIE and Celebs Go Dating star, it's wild that he's still being voted for by viewers.
What, how and why?
"Emotional night for you on Saturday, you really wanted to make it to Blackpool. You've done it!" Winkleman told Wicks, whose Couple's Choice routine this weekend was dedicated to his late nan.
"I honestly can't believe it," he replied. "I should be absolutely nowhere near Blackpool but I'm over the moon to be there. More so for Jowita, she's given me so much in the past 8 weeks and I know how much it means for the dancers to dance in Blackpool."

The Polish professional then announced that they'd be doing the Cha Cha Cha to Right Said Fred's 'I'm Too Sexy' next week, much to the amusement of their co-stars.
"Pete... I've never seen you dance, but this is your song," quipped comedian Chris McCausland.
How did Shayne and Nancy react to their elimination?
Meanwhile, after head judge Shirley Ballas decided to save Wynne Evans and Katya Jones in the latest dance-off, Shayne Ward and his partner Nancy Xu were interviewed by Tess Daly.
The former X Factor champion began by describing this year's Strictly cast as a "dream".
"Every single day, coming in here and seeing you guys you helped me so much. I want to say thank you to the audience as well, for always being amazing for us all. This has been, honestly, one of the best things I've ever done," added Ward.
"A massive thank you goes to this incredible human right next to me, who has put so much fire in me and made me believe that I can actually achieve more if I let myself go. I'm sorry it didn't work out to the end, but I'm super proud that I got to meet you and dance with you, so thank you."
Xu herself chipped in with: "Shayne from week one until this point, every second you put your feet on the dancefloor you improved yourself. You're a deep thinker, you always doubt yourself, you never believed in yourself, but I never ever questioned you. When I watch you, I feel proud because I've turned someone who has never ever danced in their life into an amazing dancer."
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday, 16 November on BBC One.
