Jaime Winstone will not be appearing on Strictly Come Dancing this week on medical grounds.
On Wednesday afternoon, the BBC revealed that Jaime – who is paired up with reigning champion Carlos Gu – will miss Saturday night’s live show after sustaining an injury during training.
She said: “I am absolutely devastated not to be dancing this weekend due to a torn abdominal muscle. I am in considerable pain, and my doctors have advised complete rest to give my body the best possible chance to heal.
“As frustrating as it is, I have to put my health first and follow their advice to step away from dancing this week.”
“I love every moment of dancing and performing with Carlos, and I am praying for a speedy recovery so that I can continue this magical journey,” Jaime continued. “I want to thank everyone for their incredible support so far. It means more than you know.
“Wishing everyone on the show all the luck, love and strength for Saturday night and I hope to be back on that dance floor very soon.”
