Tess Daly was forced to apologise for a Strictly Come Dancing celebrity swearing on the dance floor – in scenes not aired on the BBC show. Vicky Pattison has revealed how her weekend was a “disaster” doing the Charleston last week.
She and pro partner Kai Widdrington got 25 out of 40 from judges who said the performance lacked any “swivels”. But the pair were in some ways relieved just to get through as their final dress rehearsal performance had been much much worse.
Appearing on her own Get A Grip podcast which she records with Angela Scanlon, Vicky had invited her pro partner Kai Widdrington onto the show. He said “you should tell her about the rehearsal” and Vicky then explained her disaster last weekend.

Vicky said: “Saturday was just like a disaster from start to finish. You know me little headdress thing, obviously I had a wig as well. Yeah. So they put that on. We were dancing the dress rehearsal. And obviously there’s a move where me head goes down and comes up, and the head piece just totally like detached from the wig and fell over me face.
“And I kept trying to shove it up, and it just kept falling back over my eyes. Kai’s going ‘continue carry on’. And, honestly, I was so stressed out and angry, I tried to stop.

Thankfully Vicky explained for her actual performance the dressmakers behind the scenes sewed the headpiece onto the wig to avoid it happening again.
This week she and Kai are dancing the Samba. Kai told the podcast: “She’s actually good. Yeah, I’m not duping her this week.
“She said to me today, after we did the routine, she was like, I actually like this one, which I never thought I’d hear. She seems to be, like, growing in confidence.”
