Victoria Pendleton faces Strictly boot despite sizzling salsa
GORGEOUS Olympic cyclist Victoria Pendleton added sizzle to her salsa last night on Strictly Come Dancing...but it may not be enough to save her.
Victoria looked pretty in pink as dance partner Brendan Cole lifted her up during a dazzling routine aimed at impressing the judges.
With only eight couples left, there was pressure on 32-year-old Victoria.
The double Olympic gold medallist has shown great potential during the series but has often lacked confidence and is the bookies' favourite to leave the show tonight.
Last week the BBC show’s judges gave her only 24 out of 40 for her paso doble, but she put in 17 hours’ training for last night.
Strictly is a warm show, people have embraced it
Fellow contestant Kimberley Walsh, 31, has spoken out about ITV’s The X Factor, which trails Strictly in the ratings.
She said: “Strictly is a warm show, people have embraced it. People want escapism and X Factor is a lot more serious: it is people’s lives and it does really, really matters if people go.”
