Delta Goodrem's injury and bye
It was also announced this week that Delta Goodrem is injured and has received a bye through to next week, where it is hoped she and Kai will be able to dance again.
Delta said in a statement, released on Monday (October 12): "I'm absolutely gutted that a rib injury means I won't be able to dance on Strictly this week. I've been loving every second of this experience, so having to sit this one out is heartbreaking – especially after the high of Saturday night. I cannot tell you how much I love being a part of this magical show."
It was said at the time that she would now focus on rest and recovery and hopes to "be back on that dancefloor very soon". Delta thanked people for "all the love and support", adding: "I'll be cheering everyone on from the sidelines this week!"
A Strictly spokesperson also explained the situation in a statement which said: "Due to injury, Delta Goodrem has been advised by doctors to rest and, as a result, will not dance on this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing. In line with the rules of the show, Delta and Kai will receive a bye through to next week, when it is hoped they will be able to dance again. We wish Delta the very best as she continues her recovery."
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 6.15pm and the results show on Sunday at 7.20pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
