Pete Wicks has responded after coming under fire for his outfit choice on BBC Strictly Come Dancing

BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans were left gobsmacked as Pete Wicks hit the dancefloor in a rather eye-catching outfit.

The TOWIE star, 33, took to the ballroom in a multi-coloured ensemble which included a bright pink shirt, yellow trousers and a pair of blue shoes.

Fans were quick to take to social media to share their thoughts on Pete’s outfit, with many branding him ‘stitched up’.

One person wrote: “Pete Wicks has been stitched up with that outfit!!”, while another added: “Oh dear, what is Pete Wicks wearing?!”

However, not everyone was so critical of Pete’s outfit, with some fans praising him for his bold fashion choice.

One person wrote: “Pete Wicks is rocking that outfit! He’s definitely one of the most stylish contestants this year,” while another added: “I love Pete Wicks’ outfit! He’s not afraid to be different.”

Pete himself has since responded to the criticism, saying that he “doesn’t care” what people think of his outfit.

He wrote on Instagram: “I don’t care what anyone says, I love this outfit. I’m here to dance, not to be a fashion icon.”

Pete’s outfit certainly divided opinion, but there’s no denying that he’s one of the most talked-about contestants on this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing.
