Strictly Come Dancing viewers have declared Vicky Pattison as their “winner” following her amazing tango which put her at the top of the leaderboard.

Each week, Vicky has clearly put her all on the dance-floor, and has often spoken about how emotional she has found the whole process. But it seems tonight (November 8) made it all worth it, as she got her highest score ever. And got extremely positive comments.

It wasn’t only the judges who were left extremely impressed by Vicky’s performance, but fans at home saw her in a whole new light. And some even think she could go on to win the show.

What did the judges say about Vicky’s performance?

Following Vicky’s impressive dance to Taylor Swift’s Fate of Ophelia, the judges were all very positive. And Shirley was even on her feet.

Anton praised: “I will tell you what I thought. I thought it was absolutely marvellous. It was perfect. Your bodies together, it must have been fabulous to dance with you in that. Your line is the best line I have ever seen, ever.”

Even Craig could barely find anything to critique. He told Vicky: “Your left hand bothered me. Because it was facing it when the palm should be facing the floor. Apart from that, it was perfect.”

Vicky was shocked at the praise, but the positivity didn’t stop there. Both Motsi and Shirley told her they both thought she was the best dance of the night.

In the end, Vicky got a huge score of 39, with everyone except for Craig giving a 10.

And fans from home were also extremely wowed.

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,” as Vicky – who has been under the weather this week – looked even more downhearted.

‘The judges have destroyed her confidence completely’

Over on the Strictly hashtag on Twitter, support and concern for Vicky poured in.

“The judges have destroyed Vicky’s confidence completely,” said one. “First of all, reminding Vicky all the time that she’s a nervous person is just going to make her more nervous. Secondly, the judges could see she was getting upset and still piled on the negatives without them being constructive,” said a second.

“‘However my darling, you got through it’ and ‘you can check that off your list’ and ‘it looked heavy’. The way I’d have an absolute meltdown if someone said that to me after I’d just tried my best. Those comments were so harsh,” said another. “Oh Vicky is breaking my heart,” another said of the star. “Oh bless her, Craig’s comments have really upset her,” another commented.

“Hope Vicky Pattison gets more confident as the competition goes on. She can do it!” another added.

‘The nerves got to her again’

Others agreed with the judges, though. “A good attempt at the Charleston from Vicky. A lack of swivel and fluidity was a shame. She had a chance to let loose this week and still either held herself back or the nerves got to her again. When you think of Balvinder [Sopal] last week, that was bouncy. This wasn’t.”

However, up in the Clauditorium as the scores rolled in, Vicky’s mood was boosted. While Craig gave her a 5, Motsi and Anton Du Beke awarded 7s, and Shirley gave a 6, leaving Vicky ecstatic.

Strictly’s results show airs tomorrow night (Sunday, October 12) at 7.15pm on BBC One.

Vicky Pattison has been flooded with support after revealing that she went back to therapy before starting her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

The former Geordie Shore star, who is one of 15 contestants taking part in the BBC dance show, posted a slew of snaps on Instagram. The carousel of pictures included Vicky with her dogs, her husband Ercan, and the star with This Morning therapists Nik and Eva Speakman.

Strictly star Vicky Pattison on her ‘struggles’ ahead of show

She wrote a long caption to accompany the post, starting: “I knew before Strictly even started I was going to struggle with my nerves and anxiety… so much so, that I almost said no to this incredible opportunity. I almost let my fear stop me from doing something amazing.

“But I absolutely don’t want that nasty little inner critic to dictate my life. I don’t want it to convince me that I’m not capable of doing brilliant things once in a while. So I put on my big girl pants and instead I tried to get myself in the best possible place before I started this little journey.”

Vicky continued to reveal the self-care rituals she embarked on ahead of her stint on the show, which sees her paired with pro dancer Kai Widdrington.

She added: “I did things for me… that I potentially haven’t done enough of recently. I practiced self care, went back to therapy, allowed myself to feel all my things, fear included… and you know what? I felt better.”

‘It doesn’t have to be your reality’

Reaching out to her army of fans, she continued: “You might not be doing Strictly, but we all get the opportunity to do exciting and amazing things in our lives. And I just wanted this to be your sign to go for it. Whether it’s the career change, the blind date, the solo trip… Just go for it. Anxiety is our brain trying to convince us that the worst possible outcome is going to be your reality… but it doesn’t have to be.”

Her attention then turned to tonight’s (October 4) live show, and the looming first elimination on Sunday night.

“Whatever happens tomorrow, I’ve tried my best, made loads of lovely new friends and had a ball… and my brain almost convinced me not to do this! If any of this resonates with you, please stop getting in your own way… you are brave, brilliant and powerful beyond measure.

“And there’s a whole exciting world of amazing things waiting for you… if you just get out of your comfort zone and go for it once in a while. We get one life and we all deserve to turn our vision boards into our camera roll.”

She signed off: “Yours Sincerely, A still very nervous, but proud of herself for doing it anyway little egg.”

Vicky was flooded with support. Strictly make-up artist Lisa Armstrong, Dani Dyer, Chris Robshaw and Balvinder Sopal were among those hitting the like button.

In one picture, Vicky revealed that she’d “had a good cry… snot and everything”.

‘You are strong and brave’

Fans also sent their love to the star in the comments section. One said: “You will be amazing, my 2025 winner right here!!”

Another commented: “Vicky you’re a fantastic woman and I’ve loved watching your career grow for years now. Know that you are strong and brave, your dancing last week was just amazing! You are showed the meaning of true courage and that trumps everything! Keep smashing it gorgeous, we are rooting for you!”

A third also shared the same sentiments: “We’re all very proud of you Vicky. You’ve got this. You have all of us rooting for you.”
