The judge, 50, has admitted he's been disappointed with the 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker's performance on the BBC One programme so far and has warned the singer, 42 - who was favourite to win when the new series began - he needs to up his game and stand out more if he wants to stay on top.

He said: "Sorry to say it, but Peter Andre is becoming a bit of an also-ran in the competition. Technically, he's very good, but he needs to stand out from the crowd more."

He added: "I'd be worried if I were him. He's missing the 'it' factor and I want to see him fly not fail. Come on Pete!"

And it seems Peter may need to work harder if he wants to fight off the stiff competition as the former The Wanted singer Jay McGuiness is now favourite to win the show.

However, the tough-talking choreographer has warned the hunky star he needs to "get ready for war" if he wants to take home the glitterball trophy.

He told Woman magazine: "Sportsmen know winning isn't just about the physical ability but having the right mentality too and Jay needs to get ready for war.

"There's so much pressure on him now, and he needs to think like a champion to get the best results."
