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.

Perrie Edwards has said her world “crumbled” when she lost her baby five months into her pregnancy and added that the “worst bit” came a few days later.

The singer is currently preparing for the birth of her second child and opened up about the two losses that overshadowed the birth of her first son Axel. During an appearance on Paul C Brunson’s podcast, Edwards revealed that she suffered a miscarriage before Axel’s birth and lost another baby afterwards, when their heart stopped beating at 22 weeks.

She added in a recent interview that the “traumatic” experience was made worse when she discovered that she was producing milk days later. “It felt like it came out of nowhere,” Edwards said about the miscarriage. “Every scan before had been fine, we just weren’t expecting to go into the 22-week scan and for our world just to crumble.

The experience was extremely traumatizing, then. I recall taking a shower and getting my milk a few days later. I can’t help but feel like I’m out of my room, Mum! She said, “What, what, what? ” and she responded, “What, what? ” I said, “I’ve got milk! ” and I was like, ” “.

She said, “Oh, darling, they said this would happen.” But I didn’t anticipate it. I was devastated. The worst part was that. The baby was gone, but my body was prepared for it.

In the interview, which was with Glamour, Edwards said her fiancé, former footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, was instrumental in helping her navigate the loss, but admitted he needed help as well, even if he couldn’t see it.

She said, “We are very lucky to have each other.” We have such a deep love for one another. He seemed to have no control over me because he was so concerned for me and felt as though there was nothing he could do.

But he simply made it so much better by being there and supporting me throughout the entire process. I kept asking him, “Are you okay?” and he responded, “It’s not about me,” and I’m like, “Yes, it is, though.” A baby was lost by both of us. Both of us experienced it. He behaves very similarly toward emotions, trying to “suck it up” and moving on. But I could tell that he had experienced trauma as a result. He apparently only wanted to be strong for me.

Now, Edwards isn’t just preparing for the birth of her second child, she’s also preparing for the release of her debut solo album, Perrie. The singer is the final member of Little Mix to release solo music. Former band-member Jesy Nelson dropped a single in 2021, while the rest of the band continued to stay together. Little Mix are on a hiatus currently and Leigh-Anne Pinnock released an album in 2024, while Jade Thirlwall’s hotly anticipated debut album, That’s Showbiz Baby!, hit the shelves earlier this month.

She claimed that her bandmates all support her solo career. It is extraordinary. But because we genuinely care about one another so much, we only want to see each other succeed and triumph, she said. Because we know we can rely on one another for advice, we’ll always message each other.

“It’s fun doing solo stuff and seeing how different we all are individually,” says the group, “because our personalities and tastes just worked for the group.”

One of the songs makes reference to Nelson’s difficult breakup from the band, and Edwards has suggested that in one of the songs. When pressed on, she responded Same Place, Different View, which song was the hardest to write. I was very cautious with my words because it was about someone else.

It’s about a friendship I once had but don’t anymore. We frequently discuss breakups and heartache, but we rarely discuss friendships that end. And it was impossible to save a limb.

“Every day, I was with her.” In each other’s pockets, we lived. We had the best friendship of our lives, and we shared so much. It was a big deal for me then to no longer have her in my life. It was really difficult for me to adapt.
