‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2025 waved goodbye to Vicky Pattison and her partner Kai Widdrington during tonight's Results Show.
Vicky and Kai found themselves in the dance-off against Balvinder Sopal and her partner Julian Caillon. Both couples performed their routines again; Balvinder and Julian performed their American Smooth to ‘My Guy' by Mary Wells, before Vicky and Kai performed their ‘Jive' to Sound of the Underground by Girls Aloud.
After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts and they all voted to save Balvinder and Julian. Honestly, Balvinder and Julian have been in the bottom two so many times this series, it's clear the public is ready for them to leave!
When asked by Tess about her time on the show, Vicky said: “It was so lovely while it lasted, and I’ve had the nicest time. I knew this week was a difficult one for me, and I tried my hardest as I have every week. Listen, I didn’t think I’d get past week one. And I’m really honoured to have shared this experience with so many amazing people. Mostly with this fella [Kai] right here. I don’t want to sound too cheesy but [to Kai] you’ve been the best partner a girl can ask for. I’m so sorry I didn’t get you to Blackpool but I feel like I’ve won just by having you as my partner and I’m so grateful.”
When asked by Tess about their brilliant partnership, Kai said: “Oh, goodness me. Where do I start? You [to Vicky] are everything that this series is about. Strong, confident, independent – and all that I can say is, I have loved every single second. I'm going to be gutted not coming to Blackpool with you on Monday. But I just want you to know that I feel like I have also won getting you as my partner, and you will live on in Strictly history forever.”
Vicky then said “I’ll miss everybody. I enjoyed it loads more than I thought I was going to. And I know I let my nerves get in the way – Shirley, you are right – and I will proper beat myself up over that. But I’ve never danced before sober and here I am – sober as a judge!”
Sunday’s Results show also featured a ‘Strictly' first: the Strictly Professional Dancers teaming up with award-winning dance troupe Diversity for a jaw-dropping group number that saw Hip Hop collide with the Golden Age of Hollywood, to a rapturous response from the studio audience. Elsewhere in the show, Olly Murs performed ‘Run This Town' accompanied by a routine from Amy Dowden, Luba Mushtuk, Michelle Tsiakkas and Nancy Xu.
The remaining seven couples will take to the world-famous Tower Ballroom for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’s Blackpool Specials next weekend on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 6:35pm on Saturday and 7:15pm on Sunday.
