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.
