Reality TV sensation Vicky Pattison has pulled back the glittering curtain on Strictly Come Dancing, revealing a truth so grimy it has left fans of the show feeling queasy.
The former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! winner, who is no stranger to the world of reality television, made a shocking confession about the BBC dance show's infamous costumes during an appearance on the Take Flight podcast.
The Grim Reality Behind The Glamour
Pattison didn't mince her words, describing the elaborate outfits as "absolutely disgusting" due to a complete lack of hygiene protocols. She revealed that dancers are routinely squeezed into garments still drenched in the sweat of previous contestants, with no cleaning in between.
"They don't wash them," she stated bluntly, painting a picture far removed from the show's sparkling image. "You're just putting on this outfit that's like soaking with someone else's sweat... It's rank."
A Wave of Viewer Disgust
The revelation has sparked a wave of revulsion among the show's dedicated fanbase. Listeners and followers quickly took to social media to express their horror, with many saying the mental image had genuinely turned their stomachs.
One stunned fan commented on the sheer unpleasantness of the revelation, while others expressed they were physically repulsed by the thought of the unhygienic practice.
This gritty insight offers a stark contrast to the flawless, glamorous world typically presented on screen, exposing the less-than-sanitary reality of reality TV production.
