Strictly star dealt devastating blow just hours before | UK News

A Strictly Come Dancing duo has been dealt a crushing blow just hours before the first live show. Last Saturday, tv audiences witnessed celebrities being paired with their skilled dancing companions, and tomorrow night marks their inaugural efficiency on the dance flooring. While no one faces elimination this weekend, bookmakers have been releasing their forecasts for who is perhaps first to meet their destiny, and prospects look grim for Ross King and his dancing companion, Jowita Przystał.

Betway has given them 100/1 odds of being the first to depart, with Chris Robshaw trailing carefully at 66/1. Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis also finds himself in perilous territory with 33/1 odds, studies The Daily Star.

Meanwhile, Emmerdale‘s Lewis Cope presently stands as the bookmakers’ favorite to declare the Glitterball Trophy, partnered with Katya Jones. YouTube sensation George Clarke follows carefully behind with 9/2 odds.

Dani Dyer had also been earmarked as a potential champion of the 2025 collection until a rehearsal injury compelled her to withdraw from the competitors this week.

The BBC launched a assertion from the devastated Love Island star, who disclosed she was “heartbroken” to see her Strictly journey terminated prematurely.

“I had a fall on Friday in rehearsals and landed funny,” she revealed, studies Wales Online. “I thought I had rolled my foot, but it swelled up badly over the weekend, and after an MRI scan yesterday, it turns out I have fractured my ankle.

“Apparently doing the quickstep on a fracture is just not advisable and the docs have said I’m not allowed to dance so l’ve had to pull out of the show.”

She continued, “To say I’m heartbroken is the largest understatement. I’m so going to miss dancing with Nikita but will of course be watching carefully and cheering all the {couples} on.”

BBC Studios’ govt Sarah James added: “Dani has introduced so a lot ardour, pleasure, and enthusiasm to Strictly, and her partnership with Nikita was off to the most sensational start.

“Everyone on the show is incredibly sad that she’s no longer able to compete in this year’s series. We send her all our love and best wishes for a swift recovery, and we very much hope to welcome her back to the ballroom in the future.”
