The announcement of Dani Dyer’s withdrawal from the upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing has stirred reactions from her father, Danny Dyer. The news broke that she will no longer be part of the BBC show due to an injury, just days after the unveiling of this year’s dance couples.
Initially set to dance with professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin, Dani, 29, revealed in a statement that she had to drop out because of an injury she sustained. Her departure, shared on social media, drew responses from fans, colleagues, and her disappointed father, Danny, who expressed his feelings with a broken heart emoji.
Not only Danny but also other participants from the show expressed their sadness. Vicky Pattison, a fellow contestant, expressed her devastation for Dani, while professional dancers like Michelle Tsiakkas, Karen Hauer, and others sent messages wishing Dani a speedy recovery.
The reason behind Dani’s exit was a fractured ankle sustained during rehearsals. In a statement, Dani mentioned her disappointment at not being able to continue but expressed her support for the remaining contestants. BBC Studios’ executive producer, Sarah James, praised Dani’s enthusiasm and hinted at a possible comeback in the future.
As preparations continue for the first live show this weekend, the absence of Dani has left a void in the lineup, with everyone hoping for her swift recovery and a potential return to the dance floor.
