Dani Dyer Shows Off Injury That Forced Her To Pull Out Of Strictly Come Dancing
Last week former Love Island star Dani, 29, had to withdraw from the BBC show just two days before it started after fracturing her ankle during training.
Ahead of Saturday's first live show, bosses replaced her
with fellow former Love Island star Amber Davies.
And on Sunday Dani Dyer shared a snap of her
fractured ankle in a cast as she got some well-needed rest and gave an update
for her followers.
She penned in her post: 'It's been a lazy..
emotional week.
'I was so excited for this side of the year but it really
hasn't ended the way I wanted it too.. taking everyday as it comes whilst my
annoying foot gets better.
The Daily Mail broke the news that Dani Dyer,
one of the show's favourites, had to bow out last Tuesday, after fracturing her
ankle during a training rehearsal the Friday before.
Dani Dyer later confirmed this in a statement and said:
'I had a fall on Friday in rehearsals and landed funny.
'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 not
advisable (!!) and the doctors have said I am not allowed to dance so l've had
to pull out of the show.
'To say I'm heartbroken is the biggest understatement. I
am so going to miss dancing with Nikita but will of course be watching closely
and cheering all the couples on.'
The accident occurred before Dani even got to perform one
routine.
Bosses had hoped that Dani would go far in the
competition, but it was announced last Tuesday that she could not continue in
the competition.
In a statement, BBC bosses confirmed that the door would
be left open for 'heartbroken' Dani to return next year, saying they 'hope to
welcome her back to the ballroom in the future.'
Dani was the second star to pull out of
this year's series before the first live show has even aired, as Game Of Thrones star Kristian Nairn withdrew from the lineup due
to 'unexpected medical reasons.
Sarah James, Executive Producer for BBC
Studios said: 'Dani has brought so much passion, joy 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.'
Dani's replacement Amber raised eyebrows due to her dance
experience as a West End star.
She impressed the judges on Saturday night with her Waltz
with partner Nikita Kuzmin.
Amber
shot to fame on ITV's Love Island in 2017, when
she told viewers she was a dancer.
She graduated from The Urdang Academy, a London
performing arts college, with a professional diploma in musical theatre.
