One viewer concluded the dance was “really quite dull” and claimed it was Wicks’ “time to go” in tomorrow night’s results show. “That’s terrible tango music for Pete and Jowita and sounds awful,” said one viewer on X/Twitter. Pete Wicks dancing a Tango to ‘Easy Lover’ As for the dancing itself, Wicks was praised by judges for “improving dramatically” from last week’s Cha Cha to “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred, which saw him at the bottom of the leaderboard with a score of 27.
