Vicky Pattison, a popular personality from Strictly Come Dancing, recently shared a glimpse into her rehearsals, where she criticized her own performance, hinting at struggles with ‘imposter syndrome.’ Concerns have been raised by a close source that these issues might hinder her chances of winning the glitterball trophy.
Following her latest dance routine with professional dancer Kai Widdrington, Vicky, aged 37, received her highest score so far and was encouraged by lead judge Shirley Ballas, who suggested she could make it to the competition’s final.
In a video shared on her Instagram before the results show, Vicky expressed frustration while learning new dance moves, admitting her self-doubt by saying, “I’m rubbish.” Sources close to her revealed that she has been battling imposter syndrome, feeling unworthy of the success and opportunities she has achieved, like her role on Strictly.
Vicky has been candid about her struggles with confidence, dating back to her post-jungle victory. Despite feeling overwhelmed and out of place during rehearsals, she aims to showcase her capabilities by pushing herself out of her comfort zone.
While known for her dedication to fitness, Vicky confessed her concerns about mastering dance routines, particularly the cardio aspect. Despite facing criticism from the judges in a recent performance, she and Kai avoided elimination, unlike Scottish broadcaster Ross King, who was voted off the show after receiving low scores.
Ross, paired with dancer Jowita Przystał, became the second contestant to exit the competition, following Thomas Skinner’s elimination in the previous week. The show continues to captivate audiences with its mix of talent and drama.
