For a lot of folks, this one stung more than usual. Vicky had stormed the leaderboard just last week with a nearly perfect tango, and the crowd’s been loving her journey. But a jittery jive put them at the bottom, and sometimes that’s how the glitterball rolls. If you’ve followed Strictly for any length of time, you know it’s never just about the judge’s scores—the public vote always keeps you guessing, and this week it just wasn’t enough to pull Vicky through.
What Strictly Come Dancing Leaderboard in Week 8?
The week 8 leaderboard had a fresh shakeup, with Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin smashing out a dramatic Paso Doble to nab the top spot with a score of 38. Lewis Cope and Katya Jones followed hot on their heels with 37, and Alex Kingston & Johannes Radebe tied up third at 35. Vicky Pattison, coming off the high of last week’s leaderboard, slipped to the bottom with 27, right alongside Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon, who also scored 27. Here’s how things looked for the week, casual and quick:
-
Amber & Nikita: 38

Who Are in the Bottom 2 on Strictly Come Dancing Last Night?
The bottom two couples last night were Vicky Pattison & Kai Widdrington and Balvinder Sopal & Julian Caillon. Both had a bit of a rough ride with their routines, each scoring only 27 with the judges. Stewart King on X reported that Vicky and Kai, along with Balvinder and Julian, found themselves in the bottom two on Strictly Come Dancing. Ultimately, Vicky and Kai were eliminated after the dance-off.
For strictly super-fans, this Dance-Off was always going to be close; both couples had devoted supporters and, honestly, both fought hard for the judges’ favor. In the end, though, it was Vicky’s time to hang up her dancing shoes, leaving even the judges a bit misty-eyed. There’s never an easy week on Strictly, especially as the field narrows, and week 8 proved that one routine can flip everything upside down.
