The highly anticipated Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour has been hit with a double blow as two of its star performers have been forced to withdraw due to painful injuries.
Love Island Stars Sidelined
Dani Dyer, former Love Island winner and daughter of actor Danny Dyer, has been compelled to pull out of several tour dates after sustaining a back injury. The 27-year-old reality star had been dancing with professional partner Nikita Kuzmin and was scheduled to perform in Birmingham this weekend.
In a heartbreaking social media post, Dyer expressed her devastation: "My heart is broken writing this but unfortunately due to a back injury I won't be performing in Birmingham this weekend for the Strictly Tour."
Amber Davies Joins Injury List
Making matters worse for the production, former Love Island winner Amber Davies has also been sidelined with a foot injury. The theatre star, who had been partnered with professional dancer Graziano Di Prima, confirmed her withdrawal from upcoming shows.
Davies shared her disappointment with fans, stating she was "absolutely gutted" about the situation. Both performers had been receiving treatment in hopes of returning to the dance floor, but medical advice has forced them to prioritise recovery.
Tour Continues Amid Setbacks
Despite these significant setbacks, the Strictly Live Tour continues its journey across the UK. The production features other celebrity contestants from the latest series, including Ellie Leach, Bobby Brazier, and Layton Williams.
Professional dancers are stepping in to ensure the show goes on, with understudies and adjusted routines keeping the entertainment value high for disappointed fans who had hoped to see the Love Island stars in action.
The tour is scheduled to visit multiple cities including Leeds, Manchester, and Glasgow before concluding in February. Production representatives have confirmed that ticket holders will be notified about cast changes and offered support where possible.
