BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers 'feel sick' as they 'work out' Pete Wicks and Chris McCausland move

Strictly Come Dancing viewers said they 'felt sick' after 'working out' a move that favours Pete Wicks and Chris McCausland. The pair are among the five remaining celebrities in the BBC One dance contest.

They made it through to the semi-final of Strictly's 2024 series which took place on Saturday night (December 7) ahead of the grand final in a weeks time.

Veteran broadcaster Angela Rippon, who competed in the hit dance programme last year with pro dancer Kai Widdrington, and Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood were among the celebrities in the audience.

But it was former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and her professional dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec who kicked off the penultimate week of Strictly's 20th-anniversary series with a salsa to Something New by Girls Aloud.

The pair were awarded 35 points by the judges with Shirley Ballas calling the dance a "beautiful performance". The judges also said the two could improve upon their transitions and lifts.

However, Strictly fans claimed they 'felt sick' as they feared an exit is now on the cards for Tasha due to her being the first dancer on the show, with them claiming it was because they were keeping 'favourites' Pete and Chris until later in the night.

@fansvfavourites said: "They’re fully leaving pete and chris till the end…. they’re trying so hard to get a tasha and jb bottom 2 i feel sick #Strictly." @airsadie claimed: "udges blatant goal for tonight is to put jb & tasha in the death slots & intentially score tasha lower so they can get her gone. hate this show #strictly."

@Evelynsmin fumed: "Reading that Tasha is in the death slot… F**K THIS SHOW
