Vicky Pattison Tearfully Reflects on Strictly Exit, Saying She 'Knew' She Was Leaving

She apologised for missing Monday's spin-off after birthday leave, with judges saving Balvinder Sopal over her one week before Blackpool.

Overview

  • Pattison and partner Kai Widdrington were eliminated after their Jive scored 27/40 and they lost the dance-off to Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.
  • In a teary It Takes Two interview, she said she "knew" the result once the dance-off was announced and admitted she does not have a dance-off "in my locker."
  • She skipped the usual Monday exit interview with BBC permission to celebrate her birthday, later apologising to viewers and posting, "I'm sorry if I let you down."
  • Husband Ercan Ramadan called her "my winner" in supportive posts, while Strictly colleagues and former contestants praised her run.
  • Viewer reaction online included calls to bring her back following La Voix's withdrawal, and tabloids report—without official confirmation—that she may front an E4 fertility series with her husband.
