Gruesome Strictly injuries
Without a single injury or two, Strictly wouldn’t exist. Famous athletes and athletes regularly push their bodies to the limit to impress viewers and judges with their moves, but it occasionally comes at a price.
Three stars have already been injured prior to the start of the series. Nadiya Bychkova, a proffessional dancer, was taken to the hospital shortly before rehearsals because she had fallen infected and was concerned that she was paralyzed.
Nadiya revealed to the Mirror that it was “a really frightening moment.” I was sitting up on a chair and a table in heels while preparing for a group dance, and soon after that, I was in pain on my back and unsure of what was happening. Your thoughts can be so many different things. I was incredibly concerned because I couldn’t move and couldn’t feel my left leg.
Docotors luckily informed her that there had never been any permanent damage, and she has since returned to work.
Balvinder Sopal, the soap star, earlier this week, reported that something “popped” and that she was taken to the hospital. She stated in a video that was posted to Instagram that she was at physio on her second day of training. I’m here to find out what exactly happened because something happened.
“I’m fine, everything’s fine,” the statement read. I’m going to ask someone to look at my left hip because it feels a little tight and uneasy and makes it difficult for me to walk and still move.
She continued, “I can’t tell you, I believe this was the hardest I’ve ever worked.” The pros are truly incredible, superhuman, and literal gods. I’m loving every second of it because of how they move and how they teach you.
“But the physio will just check me out. I’m hoping they treat me fairly. Second day training, yes. Balvinder has since confirmed that she is feeling “all right” and is back to training.

Chris McCausland’s cheeky letter to incoming stars is hilarious.
The Strictly class of 2025 are going to have a difficult job on their hands if they want to take the Glitterball from him, in a video message sent hours before the launch show.
Comedian Chris, 48, looked dapper in a red shirt and a black suit as he declared, “Your reigning Strictly champ, here. I’m just waiting for the new series to premiere at Elstree Studios. One of our dances is supposed to be between Di and I. But, in other news..”.
Then, he grabs the GliterBall trophy and says, “I’ve decided I’m not giving this back,” before returning. No, I put in extra effort into getting this, but I did it fairly and just!
After announcing the news last week, Dianne Buswell and her partner Joe Sugg are expecting their first child. Here we take a look at their peaceful life from their privates.

As the 22nd season of Strictly Come Dancing begins, Dianne Buswell will become the first actress to ever perform while she is pregnant.
Soon after sharing the news that they are to become parents for the first time, Dianne and her partner, YouTube star Joe Sugg, were inundated with congratulatory messages from stars of the BBC dance show.
And while the 36 year old professional dancer will still compete in this year’s series of the BBC dancing show, her life off camera appears to offer her some much needed rest and relaxation.
Dianne can rest easy in her £3.5 million West Sussex mansion, which she and Joe purchased just over two years ago, when she isn’t training for the show or traveling.
Their home is where the couple chose to share their baby reveal video on Instagram on Sunday. Accompanying the video was the Elton John song Tiny Dancer as the pair pretended to paint a picture together.

The couple then took their picture, which showed two stick men, one identifying as Dianne, holding hands with a baby and wearing her signature red hair.

Joe and Dianne first met when they were paired together on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2018 and five years later, they made the bold decision to buy a property together.
Not just any real estate, as Lewis Dunk, a former Premier League player, owned it. The detached house has five bedrooms, six reception areas, and is thought to be seven thousand and a half square feet.

Additionally, they can cook in their sprawling kitchen with a view of an impressive garden, which both Dianne and Joe have shared with their fans, and exercise in their lavish kitchen.
Additionally, the mansion has a two-story side extension, as well as ground, ground, and first floor extensions. And they don’t shy away from posting a lot of photos of their magnificent home on social media.
Joe stated during their move, “I’ve been working on something in the background.” Because we moved house, we are moving the last of our belongings.

He continued, “People are like What? ” You’ve relocated, right? You were the only person remaining in the final few months! Very accurate. Although the last place was a project, we adored it. A significant project was involved. We were able to find this place, fall in love with it, and now we are.
The garden comes complete with fruit trees and flower beds which Joe has often claimed helps him to unwind. And no better time than now as they both go through the pregnancy journey together.
Every day is different in this social media career, Joe said in an interview with The Independent. It’s been challenging to keep up a routine. Knowing that when the sun is going down or when it rises early in the morning, I have more structure.

He continued, “It takes you from everything.” I typically don’t consider using my phone in the garden unless I’m purposefully leaving on purpose to make content.

In 2006, Louisa Lytton and Vincent Simone were paired up for professional dancing. She became the youngest contestant to ever take part in a BBC television program.

Former EastEnders actress Louisa Lytton has called for a Strictly Come Dancing all stars series, almost two decades after she first appeared on the hit BBC show as its youngest-ever contestant.
The actress, who is now 35, joined the fourth series of the competition in 2006 at the age of 17 when she first appeared in it. Vincent Simone, a professional dancer, and her partner.
Despite her young age, she made it all the way to the quarter-finals before being eliminated in a tense dance-off against Spice Girl Emma Bunton and her partner Darren Bennett.

Louisa penned a nostalgic Instagram post today, writing: “Did you know I was the youngest standing contestant on the show? Every week was a mix of nerves, glitter, and the pure adrenaline of performing live.
Being the youngest gave me a lot to prove, but it also gave me the freedom to embrace the entire experience with fearless enthusiasm and wide-eyed excitement. Strictly wasn’t just about the dance moves; it also taught me through performance the magic of storytelling, discipline, and resilience.
Forever grateful for that chapter, “I’ll never forget the friendships, the sequins, and the feeling of hearing that music start.” Please, all stars back, please? Good luck to everyone who is about to begin the Strictly journey.
A number of vintage photos from Louisa’s time on the show accompanied the post. Fans flocked to the comments, one of which read, “Obsessed with your Jive to this day” and continued to rant about her Strictly run.
Another person remarked, “You were amazing. Louisa and Vincent won the American Smooth in the quarter-final of 2006 and placed 31 out of 40.
Louisa put on such a beautiful performance, Len Goodman told her. There was a small dearth of the wow factor. You did a fantastic job, I thought.
Bruno Tonioli praised her potential but said the dance was “a bit safe,” while Craig Revel Horwood was less impressed, calling it “mediocre” and “boring”.
The pair’s Rumba only managed 28 points for them. Bruno criticized her, saying, “This is the one Latin dance that really tells a story.” You lost your balance a few times, and I didn’t see a story, I saw tricks.
Craig also claimed that there wasn’t enough Rumba and “a little bit jagged.” Louisa left the show with her head raised, noting that she loved every second of it. Every little girl’s dream is a reality for me.
Her partnership with Vincent blossomed into a close friendship, and at the time Louisa told the BBC : “We’re going on holiday together to Italy. I love him and we’ll continue with the lessons.”
Since Strictly, Louisa has enjoyed a varied acting career. She returned to EastEnders as Ruby Allen after her time in the ballroom, and also went on to play PC Beth Green in The Bill. She even represented the UK at the Eurovision Dance Contest in 2008, where she finished ninth.
The sparkling co-hosts of Strictly as it rolls back, and as a source reports, the storms they’ve endured have only strengthened their bond.

It’s been rocked by one scandal after another, but one thing that has remained steady on Strictly Come Dancing is the unbreakable bond between hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. This year, as the BBC One dance show celebrates its 21st anniversary, the duo will be marking their 11th year as co-hosts. And their on-screen chemistry is as strong as ever. “Tess has such a strong bond with Claudia,” a source exclusively tells OK!.
They have great chemistry on the television and are great friends, both of whom are very career-driven. And they always have each other’s back. The fact that they are close friends off-screen helps the pair’s relationship on camera. Tess has frequently referred to Claudia as her “sister” and has frequently mentioned how much she enjoys hosting with her. She and her husband, Kris Thykier, have two children: Jake, 22, Matilda, 19, and Arthur, 14, along with her husband, Kris.

The mother-of-two said, “It always felt natural and right.” It’s a joy to stand next to someone because it feels like work when you really get on with them. It resembles a continuation of your friendship.
Tess, 56, and Claudia’s partnership blossomed after original co-host, the late Sir Bruce Forsyth, stepped down following the 2013 series. But the pair first met when Claudia, 53, started hosting spin-off show It Takes Two in 2004. “Tess had just had her little girl, Phoebe, and we started talking about our kids straight away,” she said.
After Sir Bruce left, Claudia was promoted to Saturday night co-host, but by then, she was already a regular on Sunday night’s results show. Before we began the main show together, we already had the experience of standing side by side on the Strictly floor, said Tess. “That seemed like a natural progression for us,” he said. It is cozy. Because you genuinely like the person, you can already feel the person’s vibe. That is always helpful.
The gorgeous pair have been through a lot of ups and downs since their Strictly journeys began(Image: Getty Images)
Strictly has gained notoriety for its off-screen dramas but also for what takes place on stage, most notably the so-called “Strictly curse,” in which contestants frequently fall for their dance partners at the expense of their own relationships. Along the way, Tess and Claudia encountered some unique difficulties.
In October 2014, Claudia was forced to step back from hosting when her daughter Matilda was involved in a freak accident after her Halloween costume caught fire. Matilda, who was eight at the time, was treated for severe burns and Claudia – who described the experience as “life-changing” – understandably took time off.
Temporary co-host Zoe Ball joined Tess during her absence, where she shared daughters Phoebe, 20, and Amber, 16, with her husband, BBC Radio 2 DJ Vernon Kay, until Claudia was able to return to work three weeks later. Tess described her friend’s ordeal as “a hellish time.” Your child being involved in an accident is “every parent’s nightmare.”
In turn, Claudia is said to have been a rock for Tess when Vernon, 51, became embroiled in a sexting scandal with glamour model Rhian Sugden in 2010. “They’ve been through so much over the years and weathered so many scandals,” explains our source. “It’s made them stronger than ever.”

Tess and Claudia have both stated that they do not want their Strictly partnership to end, but that they have a plan in place in case of emergency. In 2019, Claudia revealed that “Tess and I will leave at the same time.” We made a pizza-related pact. When they finish their time with us, we’ll go together.
Explaining their decision, our source says, “They can’t imagine doing Strictly without each other. Tess loves the show and it has made her career. For both of them, it’s like going to work with your best mate, so, dramas aside, it’s a win-win for them.” Claudia’s career has gone from strength to strength and she’ll soon be hosting the celebrity version of her other hit BBC show, The Traitors.
Thankfully, our source claims that Claudia “isn’t looking to give up” Strictly any time soon. She has said, “Tess helps and looks after me.” She is strong, funny, and beautiful. The emotion is mutual for Tess. She said, “I’m lucky to work with someone who truly cares.” “I adore her to pieces. She is my mate, so it’s lovely to spend time with her. This legendary partnership is unquestionably in place.
Larry Lamb, a favorite of Gavin andamp; Stacey, turns 78 next month, but he has no intention of quitting because he fears he’ll “send everyone potty,” despite his slowdown.

Larry Lamb is best known for his roles as Archie Mitchell in EastEnders and dad Mick in the much-loved BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey.
The veteran actor, who has appeared in the likes of Lovejoy, The Bill, A Touch of Frost, Casualty, Taggart, Spooks, and Midsomer Murders over the years, has no intention of slowing down at the moment, even though he might turn 78 in a few weeks on October 1.
For the finale series of Gavin &, Stacey, the TV legend, who didn’t begin his professional acting career until he was in his 40s, took to the stage last week to accept the Best Comedy award alongside co-star Alison Steadman and Ruth Jones.
He stated that this would be his last acting career because he wanted to “go out on a high” and spend more time with his family, which included his daughters Vanessa, 56, Eloise, 26, and Eva, 22. He also wants to spend more time with his four children, including TV presenter George Lamb, 45.

However, Larry revealed in a new interview that he would still work because he didn’t want to “vegetate” and “send everyone potty” and would still do it in another capacity.
Speaking to The Daily Mail with his son George as part of the launch of Ecover’s first plastic-free dishwasher tablets, Larry shared: “I don’t want to just sit there and vegetate.
I’m a working-class bloke who believes that if he’s not busy doing something, that’s why so many working-class men and women just give up, unfortunately.
George, Larry’s son, said, “I think it’d be terrible if you retired.” I would drive everyone as well as myself round the bend, Larry said, “I’d always be looking for something to do.”

After hanging up his acting boots, Larry has since written his first fiction collection, All Wrapped Up, about a movie being shot on a Caribbean island and all the ups and downs that come with it. Unless a role comes up that he can’t turn down, he has since turned to acting.
He’s also beginning to write poetry, and he’ll perform his first poetry performance in Hereford the following week.
He said, “I’m just reflecting on the old age, reflecting on the past, looking toward the future, and writing about it in poems and stories.”
But Larry says he has always been his favorite out of all his roles since he started playing Mick in Gavin &, Stacey between 2007 and 2024.
He said, “You become so drawn to these characters that they become your favorite at that time; they are your life’s focal point.” You must give the writers credit, though, for playing a character like Mick, who is beloved by millions of people, at this point in my career, Mick is the closest to my heart.
Continue reading the article.
He continued, “I’ve had a very fortunate career, I’ve accomplished so much that perhaps not so many people know. I’m really proud of it.” I have performed in 12 West End plays, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, all the major fringe theaters in London, on Broadway, and have had great fortune to have the opportunity to work with other actors in big roles.
