Dani Dyer is reportedly in discussions to return to Strictly Come Dancing after being forced to withdraw from last year's series due to an ankle injury. The 29-year-old reality star had to pull out moments before the launch show was filmed after fracturing her ankle during rehearsals.
According to a source, Dyer was 'beyond gutted' when she had to quit and has jumped at the chance to return. The insider told The Sun: 'Dani hasn't signed her contract yet but she's clearing her diary and has told the BBC she wants in.'
Dyer, daughter of actor Danny Dyer, previously described her withdrawal as a 'dream come true' to be given another opportunity. She said at the time: 'I thought I had rolled my foot but it swelled up badly. After an MRI scan it turns out I have fractured my ankle.'
Earlier this month, the former Love Island star hinted at a possible comeback, saying: 'It's up to them. It's a magical thing to do, so we'll have to see when they start casting. But yeah absolutely – who could say no to Strictly?'
Dyer is currently filming the second series of The Dyers' Caravan Park alongside her father, who is also reprising his role in the Disney+ drama Rivals. She praised his performance, saying: 'Everyone loves Fred-Fred, don't they? He's killing it in life at the minute.'
