    Vicky Pattison opened the show last night, but the Strictly Come Dancing star was quickly moved to tears over the judges’ critique of her American Smooth.

    Last night’s Halloween special (November 1) saw Vicky and pro partner Kai Widdington open the spooktacular show. They performed a stunning routine to Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart.

    And, standing next to host Tess Daly as she received her critique, Vicky was left overwhelmed with emotion. Even pro Kai looked shocked at the comments made by judge Motsi Mabuse, who was dressed as the bride of Craig Revel Horwood!

    The Geordie Shore star opened the show with her stunning American Smooth last night. Dressed as a white witch, she dazzled the audience and judges alike.

    But it was judge Motsi’s comments that appeared to touch her the most. Motsi was the last judge to offer her thoughts on Vicky and Kai’s routine. And it appears as if they certainly saved the best for last…

    The couple got a standing ovation and a score of 31. But it was Motsi’s comments that delighted Vicky the most.

    She told her: “A few weeks ago, I couldn’t believe that you’d open our show. I loved the character play in the beginning, you did it so, so well.  So for me, you are a contender for the final. Honestly. And I just want you to finish everything, make everything nice and clean.”

    Up in the Clauditorium, Vicky told exiting host Claudia Winkleman: “I hated going first! Honestly, I loved this dance this week because for once I had a foundation to build on. I wasn’t just starting from scratch and feeling so inadequate. I was just desperate to prove that I have improved.”

    ‘Would love to see her in the final’

    Viewers loved the routine, too.

    One said: “Loved Vicky and Kai! She looked stunning! Perfect for the season, the song worked perfectly too!” “I love Vicky. My favourite part of the show is rooting for someone who isn’t the clear frontrunner that is the best at dancing but someone who is working hard and improving every week having started with zero experience. Would love to see her in the final,” said another, agreeing with Motsi.

    “It’s a joy to see how much Vicky Pattison has improved since week one, she has turned into a beautiful dancer,” said another. “Vicky has blossomed so much during the competition and it’s so beautiful to see,” another fan of the star added.

    Strictly star Jamie Borthwick has spoken out about Motsi Mabuse’s claims that he could swipe the top spot in the competition.

    Despite the dancing pro’s glowing praise, Jamie isn’t convinced.

    Jamie Borthwick responds to claims he could win Strictly

    The EastEnders favourite responded to Motsi’s comments on It Takes Two.

    When probed by Janette Manrara, he insisted he isn’t going to fall for the pressure.

    Janette pointed out: “On the results show, Motsi said that you are becoming the one to beat in the competition.

    “How much pressure has that put on you in training?”

    Jamie appears to be trying to keep his cool regarding Motsi’s high praise, insisting: “Well, I certainly don’t know about that.

    “I have said from day one that I am not falling into any pressure traps. Everything can change so quickly. The competition in this show is unbelievable.

    “So, I am certainly not taking anything for granted.

    “We are just trying to improve and I am trying to get better every week. For myself, of course, but also for Michelle.”

    Despite brushing of the praise, Jamie definitely wowed with his Adamm’s family style American Smooth over the weekend and Michelle Tsiakkas’ choreography was even dubbed as “pure genius” by Shirley Ballas.

    This week, Jamie and Strictly pro Michelle will be dancing a Samba to Faith by George Micheal.

    The star has commented on just how much he loves his Latin performances, so we have high hopes for his next take to the dance floor.

    Evidently, viewers feel the same, as one penned to X: “His Salsa was great and his hips are back so I’m looking forward to this. Not keen on the song for a Samba though.”

    Another said: “Jamie is fab in Latins, but is there enough samba in Faith?”

    A third added: “Jamie and Michelle smashed it again on Saturday.”

  • Strictly judges fuel viewers’ claims they want Angela Rippon to make it to Blackpool as they forgive ‘little slip’ in routine

    Strictly judges fuel viewers’ claims they want Angela Rippon to make it to Blackpool as they forgive ‘little slip’ in routine

    The Strictly Come Dancing judging team fuelled accusations of a ‘fix’ in their scoring of star Angela Rippon last night (November 11).

    With the race on for the all-important Blackpool week, many viewers wondered whether the veteran broadcaster was receiving preferential treatment so she may make it to Blackpool with the others.

    Performing the paso doble to Hung Up by Madonna with partner Kai Widdrington, Angela, 79 impressed the judges – in spite of a minor slip-up during the routine.

    ‘This pasa doble is going to Blackpool,’ gush Strictly judges of Angela Rippon

    As the judges gave their thoughts, it was clear that they had been impressed by Angela and Kai’s performance.

    “This is a paso doble and this paso doble is going to Blackpool, ladies and gentlemen,” gushed judge Motsi Mabuse.

    Lead judge Shirley Ballas highlighted the “slip” in Angela’s routine, but then reassured her that “it didn’t matter”.

    “You had a little slip over there but it doesn’t matter you know why? Because you collected your core, I saw it in your face; you pulled it up and thought I’m not giving into this move and you didn’t,” enthused Shirley.

    Angela and Kai scored an impressive 32 points for their routine, with eight points from each of the judges, in spite of Shirley’s earlier comments.

    The high scores did little to quash rumours that Angela is being over-scored by the judges – who fans think want to see her reach Blackpool at any cost.

    Strictly fans claim ‘fix’ following judges’ scoring

    As the points were revealed, Strictly fans shared their fury on Twitter (now X). Some suggested that the judges had a vested interest in keeping Angela in the competition. Many highlighted Shirley’s oversight and Motsi’s comment about Blackpool as being particularly telling.

    “Alright, I’m going to say it. I think they’re over marking/saving Angela Rippon because the production team have plans for her to do a big nostalgia piece about Come Dancing in the Blackpool show,” wrote one fan.

    “Just bringing this back after last night where Shirley said: ‘You slipped up but it doesn’t matter’ to Angela. Despite telling other people in previous weeks that she can’t ignore/overlook mistakes,” said another. This was in reference to last week’s show, in which judges overlooked another mistake.

    “Did Shirley actually say ‘you slipped up but it doesn’t matter’ to Angela? Yet they sent home Adam [Thomas] for a mistake?” asked a third.

    “BLATANT FIX! If ANYONE ELSE slipped they would’ve been wrecked and given fives! Angela’s had NO fast dances and the leg extension can [bleep] OFF now!” another wrote.

    With the judges already under fire for their scoring this week, this marks another scandal in the eyes of Strictly fans. But do you think Angela is being unfairly favoured?

    Last week, a BBC source told ED!: “All of the judges are hugely experienced individuals who judge on dance and dance alone in the main show and in the dance-offs. Any conspiracy theories suggesting otherwise are simply untrue.”

    The Strictly results show is on tonight (November 12) at 7.20pm on BBC One.
