Strictly Come Dancing professional Kai Widdrington will not appear in this weekend's episodes because of illness. Fellow professional Aljaz Skorjanec will perform the Argentine tango with Widdrington's partner, Australian singer Delta Goodrem, during Saturday's live show on the BBC programme.
Announcement on It Takes Two
The news was confirmed on Friday's edition of the Strictly sister show It Takes Two. Presenter Ellie Taylor said: "Due to illness, Kai is unable to perform on tomorrow night's show. Instead Aljaz will step in to dance the Argentine tango with Delta. Kai we are sending you so much love, feel better soon."
The development comes after Goodrem received a bye into the next round earlier in the series after sustaining a fractured rib. She returned on 24 October to achieve the series' first 10 with Widdrington for their rumba to Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back To Me Now.
Jaime Winstone set to return
Saturday's show will also see actress Jaime Winstone return to the ballroom, having missed last week's episode with her partner Carlos Gu because of a torn abdominal muscle. In an Instagram post earlier this week, she said: "Hey guys, we are back. It's been a hard week and it's been very frustrating not being able to dance and join everyone else in the ballroom. I wanted to let you know that we are intending to dance. We have been given the all-clear under certain rules by the doctors. We've just done our wonderful Charleston with amazing choreographers and Carlos."
Strictly will air on BBC One at 6.25pm, with the results show following on Sunday at 7.15pm.
