Strictly Come Dancing contestant Vicky Pattison has criticized her own performance, revealing a glimpse into her rehearsals amid concerns of ‘imposter syndrome’. Sources close to Vicky express worry that her self-doubt may hinder her chances of winning the glitterball trophy.
Following her recent dance routine with professional partner Kai Widdrington, Vicky, aged 37, achieved her highest score yet and received encouraging feedback from head judge Shirley Ballas, suggesting she could reach the final.
In a video shared on Instagram before the results show, Vicky struggled to grasp the steps for her upcoming dance, admitting her own shortcomings. Sources reveal Vicky’s ongoing struggles with imposter syndrome, stemming from her success post-winning a reality TV show.
Vicky disclosed feeling overwhelmed during rehearsals, expressing a sense of inadequacy compared to other contestants. Despite her dedication to fitness, Vicky acknowledges the challenge of mastering dance routines, particularly the cardio aspect.
Although Vicky and Kai faced criticism from the judges last week, it was Ross King, a prominent TV personality, who was eliminated from the competition on Sunday. Ross, partnered with Jowita Przystał, faced elimination after receiving low scores in previous performances.
The latest elimination adds to the tension of the competition, showcasing the fierce battle among participants striving for the coveted Strictly Come Dancing title.
