PETE Wicks has said it's 'not his dancing' keeping him in Strictly Come Dancing after being saved by the public.
The former TOWIE star was left stunned on Sunday night as he and pro dancer Jowita were kept in the competition.
Strictly fans watched as Jamie Borthwick and his partner Michelle Tsiakkas were eliminated.
It came after they faced the dance-off alongside Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe.
But as fans fumed that Pete Wicks was saved, he himself has acknowledged his miraculous save.
Speaking to Claudia Winkleman after hearing the news, Pete, 36, said: "There is literally only two reasons I'm still here and that is for people at home.
"I've never done anything like this and I am so overwhelmed people are supporting us like genuinely, it's certainly not down to the dancing, but also Jowita.
"If I had been with anyone else I wouldn't be here, they're all amazing but she's become like a best friend to me. Like I'm so pleased I get to spend another week doing this with you."
Following Pete's save, fans took to social media, with one saying: "Seriously people please please stop voting for Pete enough is enough."
A second wrote: "Pete Wicks seems like a nice enough chap but I can't believe people are voting for him over Montell."
"I love Pete, he's a laugh and he's trying and he's what it's about. But I'm sorry what the f**k," said a third.
While a fourth commented: "They will not let Pete near the dance off."
