Strictly's Biggest Upset Yet as Fan Favorite Vicky Pattison Sent Home

On November 13th, 2025, Ukrainian ballroom dancer Nadiya Bychkova, 37, took to the Strictly Come Dancing results show stage, joining the award-winning dance troupe Diversity for a stylish performance. Bychkova showcased her incredible skillset as she danced alongside the Britain's Got Talent winners, who were dressed in matching black and white costumes.

However, the main talking point of the evening was the elimination of TV personality Vicky Pattison, 38, and her professional partner Kai Widdrington, 30. The pair missed out on a place in next week's Blackpool special after losing the dreaded dance-off against EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal, 46, and Julian Caillon, 30. Fans were left "devastated" and "fuming" by the "most shocking elimination yet" on the show, as the results had leaked online ahead of the broadcast.

An emotional Vicky told host Tess Daly that she was "honoured to have shared this experience with so many amazing people" and that she felt like she had "won just by having [Kai] as [her] partner." Kai, in turn, praised Vicky as "everything that this series is about" and said he was "gutted" not to be going to Blackpool with her.
