Strictly Come Dancing heads to Blackpool this weekend where the remaining contestants will battle it out once again in hope of getting one step closer to lifting the Glitterball trophy.
However, it seems it will be the last dance for one celebrity contestant after their appearance on It Takes Two last night.
BBC journalist Kate Silverton and her professional dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec are due to dance the American Smooth this weekend.
But during her interview with Zoe, viewers were under the impression she wasn’t confident about her routine.
“You were a bit concerned yesterday,” Kate said to her partner. “I was a bit concerned, Blackpool concerns.”
“How are the lifts Kate, because this is the first time you can do proper, proper lifts,” Zoe continued.
“So never been lifted before, ever in my life,” Kate explained.
Those watching the show took to Twitter to discuss and one said: “Kate looks exhausted #ItTakesTwo.”
“Kate will be the next to leave, she looks really tired,” another mentioned.
“Kate ain’t getting any better so she’ll be gone the next few weeks,” a viewer predicted.
One added: “LOVE @katesilverton & thought she’d be a real contender! Bit gutted to see in the last few weeks she’s just plateaued & I feel she’s only been getting through on the strength of
Aljaz followers."
It comes after Kate explained how she was struggling to remember the steps to the routine.
During a conversation with Lorraine on the ITV show she revealed how she was “barely together with [her] steps”.
She added “there is a lot of pressure” to do well because Blackpool is so iconic.

It also seems bookmakers are predicting her exit this weekend.
According to Oddschecker, Kate’s has odds of 2/1 of being eliminated.
Last week, Strictly viewers saw her receive her highest score, 30 points, for her Quickstep.
But will she be able to score higher this weekend, or is it her time to leave the competition?
Strictly Come Dancing 2018 returns Saturday at 6.40pm on BBC One and It Takes Two airs weeknights at 6.30pm on BBC Two.
