After Dani Dyer was forced to withdraw due to injury, Strictly Come Dancing was suddenly thrown into disarray on the day of its first live performance.
Dani released a heartfelt statement on social media expressing her shock over the news. And her fellow dancers on the popular BBC show expressed sadness over the news.
Dani, 29, captioned her Instagram post: “I fell on Friday during rehearsals and landed funny. My foot swelled up severely over the weekend, and it turns out I’ve broken my ankle after an MRI yesterday.
“Apparently, it’s not advisable to quickstep on a fracture (!!)” and I was forced to leave the show because the doctors had told me that I couldn’t dance. The biggest understatement is to say I’m heartbroken. Although I’m going to miss Nikita dancing, I’ll definitely be watching closely and cheering all the couples on.


Dani has a lot of passion, joy, and enthusiasm for Strictly, and her partnership with Nikita got off to a sensational start, according to Sarah James, executive producer, BBC Studios.
“She’s no longer able to compete in this year’s series,” says everyone on the show. We wish her the best recovery possible and express our love to her in the future.
Fans and viewers quickly shared their destruction at the news on Instagram, with both BBC Strictly and Dani. Professional dancer Amy Dowden, who is paired with Tom Skinner on the show, was one of them.
She emailed her in the comments section, “I’m so sorry for you and @nikita__kuzmin, @danidyerxx absolutely gutted.” Additionally, Tansa Ghouri added, “Love to you @danidyerxx! Love heart emojis are also displayed alongside “I hope you have a quick recovery.”
Judge Shirley Ballas expressed her grief by writing, “I’m so sorry. However, the most crucial factor is health. Angel, get well soon. Additionally, fellow dancer Johannes Radebe remarked, “Gutted for you both, take care of yourself.”

Nancy Xu said, “Ohhh noooooooooo! ! ” as the comments kept coming in. Dani and Nikiii, I’m so sorry. I’m hoping things will get better soon for you @danidyerxx. sending you all my love. Danny Dyer, Danny’s famous father, responded to the news by sharing a heartbreaking emoji.
For the upcoming series, Nikita Kuzmin and Dani were working together. She had shared her excitement with the link-up on Instagram over the weekend. She stated, “I’m so happy to finally announce that Nikita is my partner!
Sincerely, I couldn’t be happier because he has already been so patient with me (thank goodness). I’m so excited for the first live performance, right now! Wish me luck.
In the upcoming series, it’s still to be seen if Dani and the Ukrainian will work together or if Dani will even be replaced. The BBC will choose a new contestant to take the place of a star who leaves before the series begins. It is unknown whether another celebrity will appear in the last few minutes because Dani pulled out just days before the first live performance.
Since the official show has not yet begun, Dani might be replaced. Kelvin Fletcher replaced Jamie Laing in a previous role, which led to Kelvin Fletcher becoming the BBC’s host.
On the launch show on Saturday, Dani and Nikita made an appearance together. The pair’s excitement over being partners was already captured in the video, which was made just before the accident occurred.
Months after wed Jarrod Bowen, Dani and the Premier League footballer had been addressing the dreaded “Strictly curse.” She claimed that the 28-year-old West Ham and England star was “so chill” and not concerned about taking part in the show, insisting that there isn’t a “Strictly curse.”
According to the Strictly curse, viewers may believe that the show could cause a contestant’s already-existing romantic relationship to end. Over the course of the show’s 20-year run, it is said that at least 21 relationships have been destroyed.
Dani rose to fame on Love Island in 2018 with EastEnders star Danny Dyer’s father. She won the role, along with his ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham, who has since become a well-known reality TV personality.
After they became neighbors three years later, Dani and Jarrod met and he would frequently deliver her parcels. Dani shared the unusual story of how they became friends while speaking on Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast earlier this year.
