The 39-year-old model and media personality has narrowly missed out on a place in the semi-finals of the ITV ice dancing competition, as she and her professional partner Andy Buchanan were voted off the series on Sunday (28.02.21) during Movie Week.

Rebekah found herself in the dreaded skate-off against rapper Lady Leshurr after their performances failed to impress the voting public, but when they each performed their skate-off routines, it was Lady Leshurr – whose partner is Brendyn Hatfield – who won over the judging panel.

Both Rebekah and Lady Leshurr made mistakes during their second routines, and whilst judge John Barrowman voted to save Rebekah, the other judges – including Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill, and Christopher Dean – opted to save Lady Leshurr.

Speaking after the vote was announced, Rebekah said: “It’s been absolutely incredible, I’ve loved every single moment of it.”

The beauty also admitted she wasn’t ready to leave the competition, but said she intends on keeping up her skating, especially has her children – Megan, 15, and Taylor, 10, whom she has with Luke Foster, and Sofia, six, Finlay, three, and Olivia, 14 months, whom she has with her husband Jamie Vardy – now want to skate too.

She added: “No [I wasn’t ready] but these things happen. I’ve had a great time, and thank you [Andy] for teaching me so much.

“[I’ll] definitely [keep skating]. The kids are so desperate to skate as well.”

Rebekah’s elimination means that Lady Leshurr will skate through to next week’s semi-final, where she will face Colin Jackson, Sonny Jay, and Faye Brookes for a place in the coveted final on March 14.
