EX-I’m A Celebrity winner Vicky Pattison is finding Strictly rehearsals difficult and admits: “I’d take kangaroo balls over glitter balls any day. I’m really done in.”
The 2015 jungle queen added: “I’m not a dancer or an athlete at all.
“I’m struggling with that.
“But, more than anything, the nerves are just getting the better of me already.
“I’m getting frustrated and finding it hard to pick it up.
“I’m worried about being rubbish, going out first and falling over.
“When I went in the jungle I felt, ‘I can do this, I’m ready’.
“This is the opposite — I’m living on my nerves.”
Vicky says she understood why Pete Wicks smoked so much in the last series.
She said: “I swear to God now I don’t have enough fingers to hold all the fags I want. I am so nervous.”
Vicky credited her husband, TV presenter Ercan Ramadan, for being “supportive, kind and excited”.
She added: “I wish I could be more like him. Nothing fazes him.
“He takes things head on. That’s why we work so well. I am neurotic, I am nervous and a million miles per hour.”
