A ripple of confusion spread among viewers of “It Takes Two” Monday evening as a familiar face was noticeably absent. Following a heartfelt elimination on Sunday’s “Strictly Come Dancing,” fans anticipated the traditional exit interview with Vicky Pattison and her partner, Kai Widdrington, a segment dedicated to reflecting on their journey.
But the segment didn’t happen. Hosts Fleur East and Janette Manrara simply announced that Vicky and Kai wouldn’t be appearing, promising a future appearance later in the week. This unexpected omission sparked immediate questions and speculation among those who had been following Vicky’s progress.
Social media quickly buzzed with concern. Fans wondered aloud why Vicky hadn’t yet addressed her departure, a stark contrast to her previous enthusiastic updates throughout the competition. One user noted the unusual silence, expressing hope that Vicky was doing alright.
Kai Widdrington, however, had already shared a touching tribute. He posted a heartfelt message praising Vicky’s courage and dedication, celebrating their journey and the joy of their partnership. He acknowledged the sadness of leaving but emphasized the incredible experience they shared.
Vicky herself had been visibly emotional during Sunday’s results show, her eyes brimming with tears as she thanked Kai, calling him “the best partner a girl could ask for.” She confessed to feeling as though she’d already won simply by having him as her partner throughout the competition.
The judges’ decision to save another couple had brought Vicky’s “Strictly” adventure to an end, but her words revealed a deep appreciation for the experience. Despite the disappointment, she embraced the positive memories and the growth she experienced on the dance floor.
While the reason for the delayed “It Takes Two” appearance remains unclear, the outpouring of support from fellow professionals and fans underscores the impact Vicky and Kai made during their time on the show. Their journey, though shorter than hoped, resonated with many.
Vicky is still scheduled to join her fellow former contestants in Blackpool for the show’s biggest event of the year, promising a continued presence in the “Strictly” universe. The mystery surrounding the missed interview, however, lingers, leaving fans eager for an explanation and hoping for Vicky’s well-being.
