Strictly star Vicky Pattison appeared visibly choked on spin-off show It Takes Two tonight as she revealed that her life has “turned the corner” thanks to the BBC dance show.
Vicky rose to fame as a debauched event shorty on MTV series Geordie Shore, appearing from 2011 to 2014. Since then, she’s won I’m A Celebrity…, turned her back on her partying days and married hunky husband Ercan.
However, appearing on tonight’s BBC Two show (October 2), Strictly star Vicky made an emotional confession to host Janette Manrara.
Strictly star Vicky Pattison emotional
Vicky and pro partner Kai Widdrington were the second pair to speak to host Janette on It Takes Two – which returned with a brand-new set earlier this week.
This week on the second Strictly Come Dancing live show, Vicky and Kai will be dancing a Foxtrot to Rein Me In by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean.
Asked by Janette if it was an honour to dance to a song by a Geordie creator, Vicky confirmed: “Obviously, it’s a great honour. I’m from Newcastle and I’m dead proud to be from the North East.”
She appeared to get a little emotional, though, as she continued. Vicky said: “All my family still live up there, all my friends do. And, you know, when I first started my career, I didn’t do an awful lot to make my family or my friends very proud.
“So doing Strictly, which is a huge, like, family show that everybody loves, and to be dancing to a Geordie legend, with my little half-Geordie here [pointing to Kai], I feel like I’ve proper turned the corner. So I’m thrilled to bits. I’m doing it for everybody!”
‘I really love this pairing’
Viewers watching at home have certainly taken Vicky and Kai to their hearts.
One commented: “I really love this pairing.” A second added: “I love Vicki and Kai.” A third appeared to be touched by Vicky’s words and said: “So sweet that Vicky wants to do family proud with her foxtrot.”
Strictly returns on Saturday night (October 4), with all Week 2 songs and dances today confirmed.
