Is Vicky Pattison Going On Strictly Come Dancing? All The Rumours So Far

Is Vicky Pattison Going On Strictly Come Dancing? All The Rumours So Far

Graziadaily2 days ago
Summer might have only just arrived, but Strictly fans already have their minds set on who could be competing for the glitter ball trophy this autumn.
One rumoured contestant thought to be joining the line-up is Vicky Pattison. The TV personality is thought to have attracted the attention of the show's producers when she supported Pete Wicks from the audience during last year's series. The bosses were said to be so impressed that they now want to make her part of the next line-up.
A source told The Sun: 'Vicky loved watching Pete on the series and was in awe of the detail that goes into every performance. She has great energy and will no doubt be a hit with the viewers. Vicky's done plenty of reality shows but is ready to be out of her comfort zone on the dance floor.'
Vicky originally rose to fame on Geordie Shore, where she became well loved for her outspoken personality and dramatic romances. In 2015, Vicky took part in I'm A Celebrity, where she was crowned Queen Of The Jungle. In a 2022 interview with The Metro, Vicky opened up about how her time in the jungle changed her.
'My time spent in I'm A Celeb was completely pivotal for me, not just professionally, I'll never be able to express how grateful I am,' she told the outlet. 'Personally, it allowed us to see the person I could be, you know? When everyone tells you you're a certain thing – drunk, loud, aggressive – you hear these things enough to start to believe them and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I was becoming a very lost, sad caricature. It was really nice and I'll always be grateful and always be a little bit jealous when everyone else gets to go.'
Alongside her TV credentials, Vicky has been outspoken about her battle with [Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder {href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/in-the-news/vicky-pattinson-pmdd/' }), a debilitating condition which causes severe emotional and physical symptoms in the weeks leading up to a period.
This isn't the first time that Vicky has been linked to Strictly. In an interview with The Sun last year, Vicky addressed the possibility of her taking part in the show. 'Like when I found out Pete was doing it, the first thing I did was ring him and see if he was OK. Because me and him are more like stand in the corner, drink and have a laugh than you know, centre of the dance floor people. And he was saying he was really nervous, and I think that's how I'll be,' she said.
She continued 'But sometimes, I just like my comfort zone and especially now I'm about to get married and everything like, I don't know, I don't know if I ever would. I don't know if it's for me, but like never say never.'
As for the other Strictly line up rumours, it's also been reported that bosses are eyeing up Queen Camilla's son Tom Parker Bowles, Georgia Toffolo and The Apprentice's Thomas Skinner for the show.
Another rumoured star set to be taking part is Stacey Solomon, who hasn't ruled out the glitter ball before. She previously told the Metro: 'I would never say never but I am a terrible dancer, an absolutely terrible dancer! I don't know why but I have no rhythm when it comes to movement. I have rhythm with singing or listening to music but when it comes to moving my feet I am left-footed, I have two left feet!,' adding 'But I am obsessed with it, I'm obsessed with the costumes. And also I would love to learn a new skill like that. I love learning anything to be honest.'

Latest MasterChef series to be scrapped completely as BBC ‘whitewash' Gregg Wallace from show's history

GREGG Wallace could be whitewashed from MasterChef history — as the BBC weighs up binning his entire final series. Episodes filmed last summer had been shelved while production firm Banijay completed its probe into the TV chef's behaviour. 6 6 6 But now the run of shows, which featured civilian cooks having their culinary efforts assessed, is set to be canned completely. It is news that could send furious Wallace to a tribunal as The Sun understands that he will receive no payout from the BBC. We can also reveal the shamed chef is also threatening to make an Ofcom complaint against BBC News over its coverage of him. A source said last night: 'The investigation into Gregg is yet to be published but when he released his own statement on Tuesday it sparked a wave of events. 'One has been escalating the issue of how to handle the 'lost' series of MasterChef, which Gregg filmed last summer before all this began. 'It had been shelved whilst the investigation was underway but now bosses are aware they need to make a decision as there are contributors to consider. "Bosses are inclined to can the whole thing, but that would also mean binning the time — and hopes — poured into making the show by those plucky amateur chefs. 'Another option is installing the series on iPlayer only, so viewers would 'elect' to stream it, with their understanding that it included Gregg. Editing him out is not an option. 'Either way it's a major headache for the BBC, and would be a final crushing blow for Gregg.' Wallace appears in the series until the finale, at which point he stood aside amid reports of inappropriate behaviour at work. Gregg Wallace offers advice to fans for £200 The BBC's director general Tim Davie will make a decision on the subject in days. Meanwhile, it is understood Wallace has not been offered any form of pay-out since his axing. The seven-month external probe into 30 historical complaints against him — which was followed by 50 new claims following a fresh BBC News investigation published on Tuesday — is due to be published tomorrow. A source added that Wallace is said to be furious with the BBC News coverage — accusing it of a 'witch-hunt' as he claims the new allegations were actually dealt with in the report by external lawyers Lewis Silkin. They said: 'He plans on making a formal complaint to Ofcom and believes he has a case.' Wallace had hosted Masterchef alongside John Torode since 2005 and has also fronted other BBC programmes including Inside the Factory and Supermarket Secrets. 6 6 In late 2024 it was reported the BBC had been made aware of complaints as far back as 2017, while it was claimed that a letter had been sent to the broadcaster in 2022 stating that women had been made to feel 'uncomfortable' in his presence. However, The Sun revealed yesterday Wallace has been cleared of a number of the most serious allegations, including those against high profile complainants such as broadcaster Kirsty Wark and 2021 contestant Penny Lancaster. Gregg Wallace - MasterChef scandal in Brief GREGG Wallace has stepped down from his MasterChef hosting role after a probe into alleged inappropriate behaviour. But what's the situation? Regular MasterChef host Gregg Wallace is currently the subject of a probe after an investigation was launched into his alleged misconduct over a number of years. Gregg has been accused of making sexual remarks to 13 colleagues including Beeb anchor Kirsty Wark - accusations he denies. The 60-year-old has now stepped away from the BBC show while historical misconduct allegations against him are investigated. Yet the former greengrocer spoke out on social media to blast the "women of a certain age" who he claimed were behind the allegations. The cooking show's production company, Banijay UK, has said law firm Lewis Silkin would lead the investigation into Wallace's alleged misconduct. While he angrily slammed the BBC in his Instagram post on Tuesday, promising 'not to go quietly', the BBC have been keen to distance themselves from him. A source adds: 'The BBC are adamant in making clear that Gregg was a Banijay employee, not a BBC one — despite the fact he was pretty synonymous with the corporation. 'But, at the same time, with so many people coming forward the BBC is also under enormous pressure to show it's serious about protecting staff and making widespread cultural changes to look after staff.' A BBC spokesman said last night: 'Banijay UK instructed the law firm Lewis Silkin to run an investigation into allegations against Gregg Wallace. 'We are not going to comment until the investigation is complete and the findings are published.' COMIC Jack Dee branded Wallace a 'bald knob' during Radio 4 show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue — just hours before news of his sacking on Tuesday. 6
