Following the day, Pattison posted to Instagram, saying: “Where do I even begin? The last two weeks have been a complete rollercoaster... trying to learn something new, overcome my nerves and do my partner proud.. I've often felt like I was trying to push water uphill with a fork!
“But @kaiwidd worked So Hard with me.. not just with the dancing but helping me with my anxiety. Kai, you are the kindest, most patient and genuinely LOVELY man!! And I am so grateful you're my partner- there is no one else I'd want to be on this little journey with.
“I know I'll never be the best dancer but I promise I'll work as hard as I can to prove that I deserve to be on that dance floor and to give you all the best show I can. Thank you to everyone in the @bbcstrictly team and crew- you are the ducks nuts!!!! So hard working, supportive and lovely!”
Fans recieved the performance well, with one comment to the post saying: “glitterball loading!” in reference to the show’s iconic trophy.
Another added: “You did so well Vicks! Aas watching with a beaming smile. Well done guys can’t wait to see next dance.”
The pair will return to the show this weekend.
