Strictly Come Dancing contestant Delta Goodrem was taken to hospital twice after suffering a painful rib injury, and the BBC has confirmed she will not perform on next Saturday's show.
The singer injured her ribs during the live show on Saturday October 10, just hours after topping the leaderboard. She was rushed to hospital for treatment, and the injury has put her future on the programme in doubt.
Injury after topping leaderboard
Goodrem had finished at the top of the judges' leaderboard on the night, but her success was followed by the medical emergency. The BBC has now announced she will miss the upcoming Idols week, a themed edition of the show.
The Express Showbiz team said the story is breaking and will be updated with the latest information as soon as it is received.
Future on the show uncertain
The injury has raised questions about whether Goodrem will be able to continue in the competition. The BBC's confirmation that she will not dance next Saturday means her participation in the series is now uncertain.
Further updates are expected as more details emerge about the star's condition and her return to the dance floor.
