Vicky Pattison Leaves Strictly After Dance-Off, Shares Emotional Message

Pattison says she is struggling, with a pre-approved birthday break delaying her It Takes Two interview.

Overview

  • Judges unanimously saved Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon after the dance-off, making Pattison the seventh celebrity eliminated.
  • Pattison’s jive to Girls Aloud scored 27 just a week after a 39-point tango had put her top of the leaderboard.
  • In a post-exit Instagram, she called Strictly one of the best experiences of her life and thanked partner Kai Widdrington.
  • Widdrington told followers it was with genuine sadness they left and added, “this won’t be the last you see of us.”
  • Former pro Ola Jordan criticized the week-eight jive assignment as unhelpful, and the pair will join It Takes Two later this week following a BBC-approved birthday absence.
