Craig Revel Horwood calls for Pete Wicks to be disqualified from Strictly Come Dancing

The feud escalates

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has stirred controversy by calling for reality star Pete Wicks to be disqualified from the show over an illegal move, adding fuel to their ongoing feud.

Defending his stance

Despite facing backlash, Craig, 59, stood by his comments at the Pride of Britain event, stating that contestants should adhere to the rules and face consequences for breaking them.

Controversial performance

Pete and his dance partner Jowita Przystal received criticism for performing an "illegal" lift during their rumba routine to an Oasis classic, prompting Craig to give them a low score and emphasize the importance of following the guidelines.

Public support prevails

Despite Craig's call for disqualification, the public's votes ensured that Pete and Jowita remained in the competition, while former footballer Paul Merson was eliminated after landing in the bottom two.
