I'm devastated for her - Strictly Come Dancing fans react as Vicky Pattison leaves show
After eight weeks of stunning performances, Vicky Pattison’s journey on Strictly Come Dancing has come to an end.
The Newcastle-born TV and radio star was eliminated on Sunday, November 16 after struggling to impress the judges with her Jive.
With a score from the judges of 27, Pattison and her partner Kai Widdrington were left in the bottom two.
“I knew this week was going to be a difficult one for me” said Pattison after finding out she would be leaving the show.
“I tried my hardest, as I have every week. I didn’t think I’d get past day one!” she added.
“I’m really honoured to have shared this experience with so many amazing, people.
Pattison started the show as one of the bookies’ favourites to win, although her odds slipped slightly as the show continued. This didn’t stop the shock from fans of the show.
Some social media users said Pattison was “robbed” while another added: “I just don’t understand. I’m absolutely gutted for her!”
Other famous faces have had their say on the elimination too, with Pattison’s podcasting partner Angela Scanlon commenting: “All the love you beautiful creature. So sorry to see you go just as you started to fly. Love you so much.”
Sara Davies, who has been involved in other projects alongside Pattison and appeared on the dancing show four syears previously, also took to social media, adding: “I am utterly distraught for our Vicky Pattison I’ve just watched the end of the Strictly results show sat there crying my eyes out with her.
“She has been absolutely incredible throughout the whole run of Strictly and honestly embodies everything this show is about. It just shows how unpredictable the competition is - it’s too close to call every single week!
“I thought she was unbelievable last week with that tango. And god love her, the emotional rollercoaster of topping the leaderboard one week and then finding yourself at the bottom the next… I know that one all too well.
“I’m absolutely devastated for her - and even worse, it’s her birthday today.”
