In a rehearsals video that was shared to her Instagram account, Vicky Pattison labels herself as “wobby,” as a source said her “imposter syndrome” could impair her chances of succeeding in every endeavor.
Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison has labelled herself ‘rubbish’ as she shared a behind the scenes look into her rehearsals, following reports that she is dealing with ‘imposter syndrome’. A source close to Vicky is said to be worried that it will cripple her chances of going all the way and taking home the glitterball trophy.
After her latest performance, Vicky, 37, who is partnered with professional dancer Kai Widdrington, was awarded her highest score to date and was told by lead judge Shirley Ballas that she could potentially make it to the final.
Ahead of the results show tonight, Vicky shared a video to her Instagram where she was struggling to learn the moves to her latest dance, and said “I’m rubbish”. A source close to Vicky has claimed that she has really struggled behind the scenes due to not believing she was good enough to have had some ‘amazing new jobs’, including Strictly.

“Vicky has really struggled with this huge imposter syndrome and her confidence for years, since winning the jungle”, they told Fabulous. The source continued: “She came home to such fanfare, she was making a fortune and landing all these massive and amazing new jobs like becoming a Loose Woman – it was huge for little Vicky off Geordie Shore, she just couldn’t believe it.
She simply crumbled because it was so overwhelming. She had a really difficult time working in the background because she didn’t think she was competent enough.
It comes just days after Vicky admitted to feeling ‘overwhelmed’ during rehearsals and that she feels a little out of place.
“All the pros are carved like angels,” quips the gym physio, “and I’m there sweating all the way.” It’s both intimidating and overwhelming. However, you rarely get the chance to step out of your comfort zone as you age. She continued, “I like to show that I’m capable.”
While she regularly hits the gym, Vicky told Women’s Health that she doesn’t feel so fit when it comes to learning dance moves, admitting: “I think it’s going to be the cardio that lets me down… everyone is so fit.”
The judging panel gave her and her dance partner Kai some critical reviews last weekend. Ross King was ultimately axed from the program on Sunday evening, though.
Scottish broadcaster Ross King, best known for his live reports from Hollywood for ITV shows such as Lorraine and Good Morning Britain, has been voted off Strictly, weeks after he became the second-lowest-scoring contestant in Strictly Come Dancing’s history.
After Thomas Skinner, who danced with Amy Dowden, was chosen, Ross was paired with professional dancer Jowita Przysta.
