Dani Dyer recently shared that she turned to her therapist for support following her unexpected departure from the Strictly Come Dancing competition. The 29-year-old former Love Island contestant had to withdraw from the BBC dance show just a week before the live performance due to an injury.
During a conversation with her father, Danny Dyer, Dani opened up about her struggles, revealing that she initially found it challenging to cope with her ankle injury. She described the experience as a significant test to her mental well-being, expressing feelings of self-doubt and questioning if she was to blame for the unfortunate turn of events.
On her Live and Let Dyer podcast, Dani disclosed that she hadn’t spoken to her therapist, Chris, in years as she had been feeling emotionally stable. However, reaching out to him during this challenging time helped her gain a fresh perspective on the situation.
While watching the show from home, Dani found it tough, but she was relieved that her former dance partner, Nikita Guzman, was able to continue with a new partner, Amber Davies. Danny Dyer, known for his tough-guy roles, also commented on the incident that led to his daughter’s exit, describing it as a sudden, unexpected accident.
Explaining her injury further, Dani recounted how she initially dismissed the severity of her ankle injury after a fall but later discovered a hairline fracture and ligament damage. Despite seeking multiple opinions and potential treatment options, she ultimately received advice from the Strictly team to withdraw from the competition due to the extent of her injury.
