Pete Wicks has likened the backlash he has received on Strictly Come Dancing to ‘abuse’ as he continued to compete for the Glitterball Trophy.
Before speaking out on the death threats he has been receiving online throughout the competition, Pete was seen leaving rehearsals with his pro partner Jowita Pryzstal, 30.
The TOWIE alum, 36, left with Jowita in his flashy Porsche ahead of their appearance on It Takes Two on Thursday, where he spoke about the criticism he has had.
During his appearance on the spin-off show, host Janette Manrara said: ‘There’s criticism that you’re getting the popularity vote and you’re not here because of your dance ability.’
Pete responded: ‘Criticism is probably a light word. I think abuse would be better. But, look, it is what it is. You can’t please everyone, and I’m not here to please everyone. I’m here to try and learn something.
I’m just a bloke that is just having a go at something, and if I listened to all of the negative stuff then I wouldn’t get out of bed in the morning.
