Vicky Pattison Back in Rehearsals, Denies Quitting Strictly After Brief Illness

An Instagram update clarified that a short bout of sickness caused a spin-off absence rather than a departure.

Overview

  • Pattison and pro partner Kai Widdrington withdrew from It Takes Two on Oct. 6 after both felt unwell, sharing apologies to viewers.
  • She later told followers she was "not 100%" during Movie Week prep and posted a vitamin IV drip as part of her recovery.
  • On Oct. 9 she called the exit chatter a "miscommunication," confirmed she remains in the competition, and reappeared on It Takes Two.
  • The pair are slated to perform a Charleston to A Little Party Never Killed Nobody from The Great Gatsby on Oct. 11.
  • Their week-two foxtrot earned 24/40 and praise from head judge Shirley Ballas, as Pattison also launched a new Matalan/Little Mistress clothing collection.
