We can see her in the final, too, Motsi!

Vicky Pattison opened the show last night, but the Strictly Come Dancing star was quickly moved to tears over the judges’ critique of her American Smooth.

Last night’s Halloween special (November 1) saw Vicky and pro partner Kai Widdington open the spooktacular show. They performed a stunning routine to Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart.

And, standing next to host Tess Daly as she received her critique, Vicky was left overwhelmed with emotion. Even pro Kai looked shocked at the comments made by judge Motsi Mabuse, who was dressed as the bride of Craig Revel Horwood!

Vicky Pattison in tears after Halloween performance

The Geordie Shore star opened the show with her stunning American Smooth last night. Dressed as a white witch, she dazzled the audience and judges alike.

But it was judge Motsi’s comments that appeared to touch her the most. Motsi was the last judge to offer her thoughts on Vicky and Kai’s routine. And it appears as if they certainly saved the best for last…

The couple got a standing ovation and a score of 31. But it was Motsi’s comments that delighted Vicky the most.

She told her: “A few weeks ago, I couldn’t believe that you’d open our show. I loved the character play in the beginning, you did it so, so well.  So for me, you are a contender for the final. Honestly. And I just want you to finish everything, make everything nice and clean.”

Up in the Clauditorium, Vicky told exiting host Claudia Winkleman: “I hated going first! Honestly, I loved this dance this week because for once I had a foundation to build on. I wasn’t just starting from scratch and feeling so inadequate. I was just desperate to prove that I have improved.”

‘Would love to see her in the final’

Viewers loved the routine, too.

One said: “Loved Vicky and Kai! She looked stunning! Perfect for the season, the song worked perfectly too!” “I love Vicky. My favourite part of the show is rooting for someone who isn’t the clear frontrunner that is the best at dancing but someone who is working hard and improving every week having started with zero experience. Would love to see her in the final,” said another, agreeing with Motsi.

“It’s a joy to see how much Vicky Pattison has improved since week one, she has turned into a beautiful dancer,” said another. “Vicky has blossomed so much during the competition and it’s so beautiful to see,” another fan of the star added.

The Strictly results show airs tonight (November 2) on BBC One at 7.15pm.
