Strictly Come Dancing contestant Vicky Pattison issued an update after she cancelled plans to appear on It Takes Two earlier this week.

On Monday evening (October 6), the former Geordie Shore star was forced to pull out of the Strictly companion show due to her health.

‘I am not 100 percent’

In a new Instagram Story shared on Tuesday (October 7), Vicky posted a selfie where she admitted she was overwhelmed while issuing a health update.

“The wheels have come off today lads… I’m not 100%, Charleston is kicking me in the [bleep] and my work outside of Strictly is somewhat overwhelming me this week… CHRIST I AM A WHINGE,” she wrote.

In a follow-up post, she shared a pic of her receiving an IV drip.

“I’ve not been feeling 110% the last couple of days… There’s so much going round and I clearly don’t have time to be in bed,” she wrote.

“So I got @dripdash.me to pick me up from my podcast studio tonight and take me to my hotel and while they did, they gave me a drop of loads of great vitamins and lovely things to make my little body feel better.”

“Huge apologies to anyone expecting to see me and Kai on It Takes Two tonight. Doing all we can to get back to our best and back to the training room asap.”

‘I am having the best time of my life’

Last weekend, Vicky and Kai performed a foxtrot to Rein Me In by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean. Following the series’ first public vote, they managed to avoid the bottom two.

On Instagram, Vicky thanked her followers for all their support.

“Just wanted to say a little thank you to everyone who voted for me and @kaiwidd! Despite the nerves and the fact that I’m a little bit [bleep], I am having the best time of my life on @bbcstrictly with this lovely fella! And I’m just really grateful to you all for supporting us and letting THIS be my reality for another week,” she wrote.

“So once again, thank you… promise to continue to work hard, try my best and hopefully get a bit better.”

Strictly Come Dancing airs every Saturday on BBC One.
