Strictly Come Dancing fans spot wardrobe blunder between ‘lookalikes’ Pete Wicks and Shayne Ward

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left baffled after spotting a strange ‘wardrobe blunder’ in Saturday’s episode.

Viewers had to do a double take after noticing that both contestants Pete Wicks and Shayne Ward looked impressively similar.

At the start of the latest episode, both stars were seen wearing a gray shirt and black high-waisted trousers with their hair slicked back.

Fans of the hit BBC show were confused by the similar ensembles on the glitzy evening and took to X to share their thoughts – with some claiming they were real ‘lookalikes’:

‘Why is Shayne dressed as Pete? #strictly’, with some replying: ‘He’s cosplaying,’ while another said: ‘I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING.’

Meanwhile, other viewers said: ‘Is it just me or have the wardrobe team completely let down the male celebrities this year?’, to which another user echoed: ‘That’s what I thought too. They turn into the same person. Also dressed the same.’

‘Shayne & Nancy are Pete & Jowita before it started #strictly raining’;

‘Shayne Ward looks #strictly like the Poundland version of Pete Wicks tonight’;

‘Shayne and Pete look alike this week #Strictly’.

While Pete and Jowita Przystal scored 22 points, Shayne led him with 31 points alongside professional partner Nancy Xu.

Strictly Come Dancing celebrities and professionals return to the ballroom tonight, with Chris McCausland making fans ‘sob’ with his emotional performance and Eastenders Jamie Borthwick topping the leaderboard with a near-perfect score.

Jamie’s fiery pasadoble was showered with praise from the judges who were stunned by his ‘paso-tastic’ performance.

Meanwhile, comedian Chris, 47, and the Aussie pro, 35, wowed viewers as they performed a waltz as they paid tribute to Liverpool.
