This includes Towie alum Pete Wicks and his professional partner, Jowita Przystał.
In week seven – otherwise known as Icons Week – the two were bottom of the leaderboard with 22 points.
However, viewers believe Pete’s next dance will see him advance to the prestigious Blackpool week.
He and Jowita will be performing their Couple’s Choice to The Best by Nicotine Dolls.
One person wrote on Reddit: “Couples choice for weakest dancers.
“Definitely helping get Pete through.”
Another added: “Pete’s couples choice is gonna see him sneak through again isn’t it.”
A third commented: “The producers have given up on trying to even keep in JB and Shayne who are probably due to face each other in the DO with Chris & Pete playing the CC card.”
While a fourth remarked: “I think this was the best time for Pete and Chris to do their couple’s choice.
Both have had a couple of rough weeks now, and this could help them build back their momentum.”
It comes as a former Strictly pro called out Pete as the “worst one” in the competition – and suggested he’s on “borrowed time”.
Ola Jordan starred in Strictly from 2006 to 2015, winning in 2009 with journalist Chris Hollins.
Speaking after Pete’s Icons Week salsa, she said: “I can see Pete tries so hard and I felt sorry for him because he messed up badly at the beginning of his routine, but his lifts were amazing.”
Ola added: “He is on borrowed time, but people love Pete and he is getting the votes.
“He’s got an audience who are obviously voting for him and keeping him out of the bottom two.
