Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> eliminee Vicky Pattison<\/a>, who was eliminated from the contest on Sunday night<\/a>, has addressed her absence from Monday night\u2019s episode of spin-off show It Takes Two, after fans expressed their worry.<\/p>\n

Eliminated contestants<\/a> on the BBC One dance competition traditionally appear on It Takes Two on Monday nights, a day after they are booted from the contest. However, It Takes Two host Fleur East<\/a> sparked speculation after making an ambiguous comment about Pattinson and her partner Kai Widdrington at the start of last night\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis weekend we sadly said goodbye to Vicky and Kai,\u201d East said. \u201cThey can\u2019t be with us tonight but will be joining us later on in the week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans expressed their confusion on X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Vicky & Kai on It Takes Two tonight. Hope things are OK,\u201d wrote one person.<\/p>\n

Vicky Pattison and her dance partner Kai Widdrington failed to impress the judges enough to stick around for the upcoming Blackpool show (BBC)<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cYou mean I just spent the last half an hour rushing to get Vicky\u2019s stats breakdown done and they\u2019re not even on #ItTakesTwo tonight?!\u201d<\/p>\n

On her Instagram, Pattison clarified that all is well, confirming that she was unable to make the appearance due to prior birthday commitments. The Geordie Shore star turned 38 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Alongside photographs of Pattison blowing out the candles on a massive birthday cake, she wrote: \u201cA gorgeous evening celebrating with my friends and family! Sorry if anyone was expecting to see me on It Takes Two tonight!\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cMy lovely Strictly family gave me the night off to enjoy my birthday! Me and [Kai Widdrington] will be on [It Takes Two] Wednesday and I can\u2019t wait!\u201d<\/p>\n

Pattison explained her \u2018It Takes Two\u2019 absence on her Instagram (Vicky Pattison)<\/p>\n

Pattison and Widdrington were eliminated from the competition on Sunday, after their jive failed to impress the judges. A decision was made, following a dance-off, to put through the pair\u2019s rivals Balvinder Sopal<\/a> and her professional partner Julian Caillon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI let my nerves get in the way,\u201d Pattison told co-host Tess Daly<\/a> in her exit interview, having been noticeably anxious during the results show. \u201cI\u2019m so, so gutted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pattison\u2019s exit was particularly saddening as next week\u2019s Strictly shows take place in Blackpool, a special week considered a high point for dancers and their partners on the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-269963","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-tv","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
