Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison broke down in tears as she reflected on her stint on the BBC programme. Appearing on It Takes Two with her professional partner Kai Widdrington, the 38-year-old opened up about her Strictly journey and departure. Vicky was eliminated after landing in the dance-off opposite Balvinder Sopal. Speaking about ending up in the bottom two, Kai confessed it was difficult for the both of them as it was something they hadn’t experienced, unlike Balvinder.

The former Geordie Shore star admitted she knew it was over when she ended up in the dance-off, admitting “the writing was on the wall” because she knew she would struggle to perform twice. She said: “I think we all knew. Even though I’ve come on leaps and bounds in terms of nerves. I am still an anxious girly and if I was ever to find myself in that situation, I think the writing was on the wall. My heart absolutely broke for Kai in that moment because he did absolutely everything he could as a professional, a partner, a friend. He tried everything but unfortunately I don’t have a dance-off in my locker.”

When shown a montage of her Strictly journey, Vicky was overcome with emotion as she pulled out the tissues and wiped away her tears.

Explaining how the show has impacted her, the reality star said: “I’ll never be able to put into words what Strictly meant to me, what meeting this lovely man meant. I think my big takeaway is if anybody puts their mind to something, once they get out outside their comfort zone and they work hard, be kind to other people and all the rest of those things then amazing things can happen.

“I’m really grateful for this opportunity to prove to myself and everyone else out there that you’re never too old to try something new.”

Addressing her exit on Instagram, Vicky admitted appearing on Strictly has been one of the best experiences of her life.

She penned: I have had an incredible couple of months and I’m so grateful to everyone at @bbcstrictly for the most amazing experience!!! I’m struggling to put into words how much this process has meant to me… it has been one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life and I don’t think I’ll ever top it!

“To my @kaiwidd I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart- the absolute BEST partner a girl could ask for.. and even more than that, a friend.

“Final thankyou to you guys, for your support and kindness.. I am so grateful to you all! You made a little girls dreams come true and I loved my time spent on that dance floor!”
