Overview
- Judges saved Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon after the dance-off, making Pattison the seventh celebrity to leave the series.
- Pattison dropped from a near‑perfect 39 for last week’s tango to 27 for a jive to Girls Aloud’s Sound of the Underground and acknowledged her nerves.
- The elimination cost her and partner Kai Widdrington a place at Blackpool’s Tower Ballroom, a landmark week in the competition.
- Pattison posted that she was “struggling” but grateful for the experience, and Widdrington said he was “genuinely sad” to go and promised “this won’t be the last you see of us.”
- It Takes Two host Fleur East said the pair would appear later this week after missing Monday’s slot, as fans voiced frustration and former pro Ola Jordan questioned the week-eight jive assignment.
