Strictly Come Dancing celebrated a night at the movies tonight (October 11), but Vicky Pattison and pro partner Kai Widdrington were handed a blow after their Charleston.
Saturday’s Strictly featured a special guest appearance from Wicked star Cynthia Erivo. However, any confidence she tried to instill in Vicky in training was quickly shattered as the judges gave their feedback.
Concerns for Vicky Pattison after Strictly Charleston
Vicky and Kai danced a Charleston inspired by The Great Gatsby. And she was hoping to impress Charleston super-fan Craig Revel Horwood. However, with her routine lacking energy and swivel, Vicky was in for disappointment when Craig gave his feedback.
He told her: “It didn’t have any swivel at all. There was no double bounce either, which made it look flat and that made it look heavy. However, my darling, you got through it, and all the lifts were absolutely brilliant.”
Motsi Mabuse then told her: “Vicky, don’t be disappointed. Just remember where we were three weeks ago girl,” as host Tess Daly wrapped her arm around Vicky in a show of support.
“Don’t be sad,” Tess told her. “You were magnificent.”
Shirley Ballas then gave her comments, telling her: “I know that you get nervous when you dance but I couldn’t see them today when you danced so you’ve checked that off your week.”
Shirley then agreed with Craig’s critique and added: “I’m not really quite sure why it looked a bit on the heavy side for me. It needed more bounce. It came across as a little bit heavy,”
