Strictly Come Dancing fans were left fuming after Sunday evening’s result show, where Vicky Pattison became the seventh star to be eliminated after the judges decided to save Balvinder Sopal.

Vicky and her partner Kai Widdrington were revealed to be in the dance-off after getting the least amount of votes from the public, along with Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon. This was the fourth time Balvinder has ended up in the bottom two.

Vicky and Kai performed their Jive to Sound of the Underground by Girls Aloud before she was eliminated and fans were not happy with the result. One fan wrote online: “Slightly distraught with the result because you were a definite potential winner and a firm favourite of mine, but I hope you’re extremely proud of yourself.VickyPattison, because you’ve done so amazing!!! We’re all proud of you lass!!”

Another fan wrote online: “Gutted! She had a bad week!!”, while another penned: “Stop voting out celebs who are improving each week! Whilst keeping in two trained dancers who dance well each week and two dancers who aren’t improving.”

Another proud fan explained: “Vicky Pattison was what #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing is all about for me. She came into the show with ZERO experience formed a friendship for life with her dance partner Kai Widdrigton and slowly flourished into a confident dancer. She created MAGIC on that dancefloor”.

After Vicky was announced as the celeb going home, she said: “It was so lovely while it lasted, and I’ve had the nicest time. I knew this week was a difficult one for me, and I tried my hardest as I have every week.

“Listen, I didn’t think I’d get past week one. And I’m really honoured to have shared this experience with so many amazing people. Mostly with this fella [Kai] right here.

“I don’t want to sound too cheesy but [to Kai] you’ve been the best partner a girl can ask for. I’m so sorry I didn’t get you to Blackpool but I feel like I’ve won just by having you as my partner.”

She emotionally added: “I’ll miss everybody. I enjoyed it loads more than I thought I was going to. And I know I let my nerves get in the way – Shirley, you are right – and I will proper beat myself up over that. But I’ve never danced before sober and here I am – sober as a judge!”

Kai then showered her with compliments as he said: “Oh, goodness me. Where do I start? You [to Vicky] are everything that this series is about. Strong, confident, independent – and all that I can say is, I have loved every single second. I’m going to be gutted not coming to Blackpool with you on Monday.

“But I just want you to know that I feel like I have also won getting you as my partner, and you will live on in Strictly history forever.”

Manchester rapper Aitch, 25, is among the famous faces on I’m A Celebrity this week and while introducing him, presenters Ant and Dec mocked him for his stage name

Ant and Dec mercilessly mocked Aitch as the rapper joined I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! in the Australian jungle. The 25-year-old, whose real name is Harrison James Armstrong, rose to fame in 2018 with the track Straight Rhyme. The rapper’s debut studio album, Close to Home, reached number two on the UK Albums Chart.

Introducing Aitch on the show, Dec said: “We’ve got one of the biggest names in British music – H.” Ant then joked: “H from Steps, that’s a good booking.” But Dec replied: “No, it’s the rapper.” Co-host Ant then said it was a “tragedy” that Ian Watkins – best known by his stage name of H from Steps – wasn’t on I’m A Celeb.

“H from Steps is rapping now. What a tragedy,” Ant said, before Dec continued: “On a diet of rice and beans Aitch is probably worried he’s not going to rap for three whole weeks.” Ant concluded: “That’s rap, with a capital C.”

Among this year’s contestants alongside Aitch are reality TV star Jack Osbourne, comedian Ruby Wax, Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp, model Kelly Brook and Emmerdale star Lisa Riley. Completing the line-up are comedian Eddie Kadi, EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, sports broadcaster Alex Scott and social media star Morgan Burtwistle, who is known as Angryginge.

Aitch joined Eddie, Shona, Kelly and Martin skydiving from a helicopter on to a beach. The five celebrities then had to wade through offal and slime to find a key fob to get access to a getaway car taking them to camp.

As the rapper joined the celebrities on the show, fans have been left wondering if he will cause as much controversy Down Under as he has throughout his career. One of Aitch’s most infamous moments came in 2022, when an advertisement for his debut album Close to Home mistakenly covered a mural of Joy Division icon Ian Curtis in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

The artwork, which was painted by street artist Akse P19, had become a local landmark, and its disappearance sparked outrage among Mancunians. Aitch was blindsided by the backlash, and told BBC Breakfast: “I felt like the most hated person in Manchester for about 40 minutes.”

He recalled discovering the mistake on social media, saying: “I seen it on Twitter, that was the first time I seen it…There was an outrage burst of like, ‘What’s Aitch doing putting his album over Ian’s mural’, and then I was like, ‘Oh god, what’s this?'”

Angry Ginge will make his I’m A Celeb debut tonight but is he single? The social media star is known to millions across the Gen Z community, having racked up millions of followers on platforms such as Twitch.

But while the 23-year-old, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, might not be known to everybody, he’s certainly made a lasting impression on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! bosses. But what’s his life like outside of his streaming career, and is he single?

In the past, the streamer has been linked to several women and most recently, was at the centre of a story after his rumoured girlfriend waved him off at the airport before heading to Brisbane. Here, we look at the rumours and his current love life.

There had been images of AngryGinge kissing a mystery girl in the airport, alongside two elderly women. However, it has since emerged that these images were AI-generated and completely false.

Last year, Morgan revealed that he had a girlfriend, although her identity remained private. In a TikTok shared by Footaslyum, he revealed: “I’m off the market,” when pals suggested he was open to love.

He added: “It’s quite inappropriate, if I’m honest.” He was also linked to British YouTube star Kaci Jay Conder, Joel and Sarah Conder’s daughter. The rumours emerged after the pair appeared alongside one another in an episode of the Sidemen’s speed dating video.

Morgan later posted a video on his YouTube page titled Angry Ginge went on First Date, during which he spoke about Kaci. And while he never confirmed a romantic relationship, fans instantly started to speculate about their bond.

Now, though, it appears that Ginge is single and very much open to finding love while Down Under. His pals, musician Tays and social media star Scousemali, have spoken about the possibility of Ginge meeting a girlfriend in the jungle.

Speaking in a new YouTube video, Tays said: “Ginge told me before he went on there, that he’s going on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here to find a girlfriend. That is the reason he said he is going on I’m A Celebrity, he said that he is going there to find a girlfriend.”

Scousemali added: “He’s going on there to find love, I mean I never got told this, Tays MCR got told this information then Scouse Somali got told second this information. Scouse Somali from Liverpool.”

However, Morgan himself has said that he’s hoping to make his mum proud on the programme. Speaking before heading Down Under, he said: “When I got approached to be on I’m A Celebrity… I said ‘yes’ immediately because it’s a bucket list item. I’ve watched the show on the sofa with my mum ever since I was a kid. To take part in it this year is something I couldn’t pass up on.”

While his name has been suggested for several weeks, he finally confirmed the news to his social media followers this week. He said: “If you are seeing this I have officially been announced. Just literally finished my last stream then before I went obviously couldn’t do like a proper proper goodbye because otherwise gives it away.

“Without you, I wouldn’t even be able to go in the jungle. So first of all, thank you very much. Yeah, basically just wanted to come on and say thank you. It should be good, should be interesting. Please don’t vote for me to do too many trials is what I will say. If I do get voted for them I will do me very best.”

A third added: “God really said ‘copy and paste’”, while another added: “Happy birthday gorgeous girl! You look just like your mumma”. “Happy Birthday, you look like twins”, another said.

The birthday post follows after Rachel revealed she is “still grieving” and sometimes wants to “hide under the duvet and cry” three years after the end of her marriage.

The S Club 7 star split from Alex Bourne in 2022 after 13 years of marriage and Rachel was hit with more heartbreak recently, as her years-long relationship with Brendyn Hatfield ended as well.

Rachel was candid in a podcast chat where she shared how much the end of both relationships affected her. “I went from being married into another long relationship. I don’t know if I actually fully grieved the loss of my marriage.

“Some days you feel empowered. Other days, you just want to cry under the duvet and hide,” Rachel said on HELLO!’s Second Act podcast. It is sad and obviously, we feel things ourselves, but we feel them for our kids as well.”

She added that she struggled with “mummy guilt” during the divorce and worried about how her daughters would be affected by not only the end of their parents’ marriage but their father’s wedding to someone else.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has faced the wrath of viewers after marking the performance of Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin. The pair were given 38 out of 40 points for their performance of the Paso Doble on Saturday night, which put them at the top of the leader-board.

However, judging by the comments on X, it looks as though viewers were displeased with Motsi Mabuse’s judging ability. On the BBC’s official social media account, it posted a clip pf the pair’s performance which attracted more than 10,000 views. But at the same time, fans rushed to express their discontent with the judge.

The BBC captioned the video saying: “This Paso Doble is straight up LIT! Amber and Nikita brought the fire tonight. Fierce and flawless!” But one fan said: “Can someone tell Motsi to hold the paddle up until the end of each vote. It’s series 23.”

Hitting back Motsi responded as she quipped: “You will survive, trust me.” Meanwhile another person added: “She can’t even find the right paddle!” Tthe Strictly judge said: “Relax !!! There are bigger problems in the world, paddle meltdown.”

But this is not the first time Motsi has been forced to express her opinion online or challenge the views of those watching the show. Earlier this year, professional dancer Dianne Buswell came under fire for dancing on the BBC show while pregnant with her first child. The pro dancer was teamed with Australian actor Stefan Dennis.

And while Dianne appeared to be to be taking things in her stride, it seemed viewers thought she was damaging the growth of her baby.

In a chat with Fabulous magazine, Motsi said: “We had a dancer on Let’s Dance in Germany who was pregnant with twins, and they danced the whole time. My doctor said to me ‘You’re not sick, you’re pregnant’ I danced until the baby came! Well, not quite, but we all do it. Our bodies can do it.”

She then added: “As long as the doctors thinks she is fine, let the woman dance! Dianne just has to trust her body and know what she is capable of. It’s lovely news. A Strictly baby is a blessing.”

On watching Dianne perform with fellow Aussie Stefan, once fan wrote on Instagram: “I don’t want to see her dance being pregnant, it’s already feeling uncomfortable and she’s only starting to show. It’s not appropriate.”

And in response, Dianne fired back saying: “I can’t believe in 2025 things like this are still being said.”

She added: “I remember my first ever show of the first series last year, the moment that Joel was introducing me, for the first time, a massive bug landed on me and I was screaming. And this was my introduction into the entire show and I had to apologise.”
