Vicky Pattison is going to take the Strictly Come Dancing live tour ‘very seriously’
After appearing in series 23 of the BBC show, the 38-year-old will be hitting the road with a cast of other famous faces, and Vicky is determined to lift the Glitterball trophy during the show.
In a statement, Vicky said: “It’s a moment, quite frankly, that I never, ever thought would be mine. And it probably never will be again.
“So I’m taking it very seriously, I’m gonna put on the absolute best show that I can.”
As well as the Geordie Shore star, the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour will feature Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, George Clarke and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
The cast is rounded out by Ellie Goldstein, Lewis Cope, La Voix and Layton Williams, while Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two presenter Janette Manrara is to host.
As well as Vicky, series 23 finalist George has his eyes on the prize, and the social media star said he was hoping to “lift the Glitterball at least once” during the tour.
He added: “The pros say the tour is all the best bits from the show without the pressure of worrying you’re going to be sent home.
“I’m looking forward to just having a lot of fun, it’s a nice way to tie the bow on top of Strictly.”
Meanwhile, Lewis admitted he was feeling “rusty”, but said he had been watching his previous dances on YouTube every day to prepare for the shows.
He noted: “I’m so happy because I’ve really missed dancing over these last few weeks. But I am feeling a bit rusty.
“I would be lying if I said I haven’t been watching our dances on YouTube every single day to remind myself. We had so much fun on the TV show that now this tour feels like a celebration.”
Drag star La Voix – whose real name is Christopher Dennis – was heartbroken after being forced to withdraw from last year’s show due to a foot injury, and stressed she would be wearing more sensible footwear for the upcoming tour.
She said: “I’ve been doing my rehab and they’ve given me a lower heel to make it easier. This is the only time you’ll see La Voix in a frumpy heel, but it’s what I’ve got to do.”
As well as the contestants, the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour will feature judges Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas.
Love Islander storms off as new feud erupts and causes chaos for the whole villa
THE Love Island: All Stars villa is set to fall into chaos during tomorrow night’s episode after a massive feud erupted earlier this evening.
What started as a game of Never Have I Ever transpired into Whitney Adebayo storming away from her co-stars after getting into a heated back-and-forth with Shaq Muhammed.
During the game, Shaq admitted that he was sad to see friend Charlie Frederick dumped from the villa the previous evening, but didn’t mention anything about his partner AJ Bunker also being axed.
It was then revealed that he had actually admitted to getting “the ick” from AJ before she left the villa, something Shaq came clean about during the game.
As several islanders were left confused over Shaq’s admission, Ciaran Davies swooped in to say that he had to “back Shaq” in the situation, before Whitney interjected: “You’re always backing Shaq”.
“Why are you shouting at him?” Shaq asked Whitney, which prompted a back and forth between the two as the latter insisted she wasn’t shouting and told Shaq that it wasn’t fair to describe AJ’s character as “an ick”.
Shaq then began to explain himself to Samie Elishi, which led Whitney to say: “See how he speaks to Samie? ‘Oh, yeah, basically’, but then to me he’s on some gangster s***. Idiot.”
Millie Court then told Whitney she needed the toilet, to which Whitney said: “I’ll come with you” as she abruptly stood up from the group.
“Where are you going?” asked Belle Hassan, as Whitney shouted back to the group: “Nah man, I actually hate this s***”.
When Whitney left the group, Shaq then ranted about her to the group and said: “I don’t like that s***. That pissed me off.”
The episode ended there, but it seems things are only getting more dramatic.
In a first look for tomorrow’s show, it seems Whitney and Shaq aren’t the only ones at war.
Off the back of their clash, Scott Van Der Sluis and Ciaran are seen angrily going against one another while Jess Harding also clashes with Whitney after they exchanged cold glances during the Never Have I Ever game.
“That’s actually so rude,” says Jess in one teaser clip as she’s seen walking off before breaking down in tears moments later.
Meanwhile, Shaq is seen proclaiming: “I thought we were friends, maybe I’m wrong.”
The teaser ends with seemingly the whole villa involved, as Leanne Amaning says: “What the actual f***?”
Couldn’t have said it better ourselves…
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITVX and ITV2
