On Thursday (October 9) Strictly’s It Take Two returned to screens with Fleur East back at the helm. On the show, she chatted to stars Vicky Pattison and pro dancer Kai Widdrington.
Last week, the pair performed a Foxtrot to Rein Me In by Sam Fender that went down a treat with the fans and judges, whom awarded them 24 points.
Talking about the routine on It Takes Two, Fleur told Vicky: “You were absolutely beaming after your performance, how were you feeling?”
Vicky replied: “I was really nervous. I just wanted to do it justice with it being that beautiful song by Sam Fender, it being one of Kai’s dances and I did feel the pressure but we did okay…”
Vicky’s Strictly future confirmed
Confirming that she is well enough to dance this weekend, Fleur revealed Vicky and Kai will be performing a Charleston to the song A Little Party Never Killed Nobody, in a The Great Gatsby themed performance for Movie Week.
“The scene that we’re doing is a really famous party scene from The Great Gatsby,” Vicky said.
She explained: “Everyone is dancing, drinking, the champagne is flowing. They are letting their hair down and having a good time. I’m sorry Fleur but that’s a bit of me! I don’t even have to act!”
Meanwhile, viewers watching It Takes Two were delighted to see Vicky back, following her illness. On X, one person said: “Love Vicky.”
