Strictly Come Dancing returns for week eight tonight, with professional dancer Kai Widdrington forced to pull out of the episode because of illness. The show airs at 6.25pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Kai Widdrington Sits Out Week Eight
Kai Widdrington will not perform with celebrity partner Delta Goodrem. The BBC confirmed the news, stating: "Due to illness, Kai is unable to dance on tomorrow night's show. Instead, Aljaž will step in to dance the Argentine Tango with Delta. We're sending Kai all our love and hope he feels better very soon."
Aljaž Škorjanec previously danced this series with Gavin & Stacey star Melanie Walters, but the pair were the second couple to be eliminated. Delta Goodrem also missed an episode weeks ago after suffering an injury.
