Strictly Come Dancing star ‘may be forced to quit show’ after falling ill

详细摘要

The pro was replaced in the line-up on Saturday night's show.

Strictly Come Dancing pro Kai Widdrington was taken to hospital and forced to miss Saturday’s show with his celebrity partner Delta Goodrem.

And now fears have been sparked that he could have to quit the series altogether if there’s no sign of improvement.

The 31-year-old dancer fell ill on Friday and skipped Saturday’s show, with fellow pro Aljaž Škorjanec stepping in at the last minute to partner Delta for a complicated Argentine Tango.

After announcing the news on social media and sending Kai well-wishes, the show also addressed it right at the start last night, with co-host Johannes Radebe saying: ‘As you may have noticed, Delta is with Aljaž tonight. Unfortunately die to illness Kai is unable to perform. Kai, get well soon – please! And Aljaž, thank you for stepping in.’

But it transpired that the new couple had only had hours together to practice the routine on Friday night, Delta revealed in the VT, after Kai – who had been struggling with a mystery illness during the week – saw his condition worsen and BBC medics stepped in, according to The Sun.

‘It’s been a hell of a week for Delta. On Friday morning it became clear Kai wouldn’t be able to continue and the BBC went into emergency mode. Everyone’s been feeling the pressure,’ a source told the publication.

A second insider added: ‘He’s spent the whole week talking about how he was just one dance from Blackpool, and suddenly he’s out.

‘The fear he may be out for the series is real. No one can say until next week.’

‘It was an extremely crazy week and obviously we’re so sad that Kai got so unwell yesterday and he had to go to the hospital,’ singer Delta, 42, said on the live show.
