Strictly's Shirley Ballas is slammed for 'objectifying' Pete Wicks as fans say she would be 'sacked' if she were a man


The judge, 64, was very impressed by Pete Wicks on last weekend's show as he performed a Cha Cha Cha to I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred.

The former TOWIE star, 36, was dressed in tight pink trousers for the performance which saw him do a lot of playful hip action for the audience. It comes after Shirley recently stood by her decision to send Shayne Ward home after receiving what she called a 'vitriol' reaction from some fans. Speaking at the Winter Gardens to launch her second fiction novel, Dance to the Death, Shirley said she 'stands by her decision 150 per cent' and vowed to continue judging without 'fear or favour'.
