Vicky Pattison has reflected on her Strictly Come Dancing experience in her first message since her shock exit at the weekend. Viewers were gutted when the Geordie Shore star was eliminated from the 2025 race for the Glitterball on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u200c Vicky had been earmarked as a potential\u00a0finalist\u00a0with her partner Kai Widdrington. However, the 37-year-old didn’t survive her first dance off as the judges sent her home after she competed against EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal. Vicky stayed off social media after her exit was broadcast and took to social media\u00a0late last night (Monday, November 17) to explain the delay was because she was busy celebrating her birthday on Sunday (November 16).<\/p>\n \u200c She said: “Where do I even begin???
