Why Is Jaime Winstone Missing From Strictly Come Dancing? Absence Explained
The BBC said Winstone and Carlos Gu will receive a bye to next week after doctors advised rest for her injury.
On Saturday, actor Jaime Winstone missed Week 7 of Strictly Come Dancing after tearing an abdominal muscle in rehearsals, receiving a bye through to next week under show rules.
Winstone is the second contestant this series to miss a performance due to injury, following Australian singer Delta Goodrem, who missed Week 4 with a fractured rib before returning.
Hosts Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe addressed the absence on Saturday's live show, with Willis telling viewers, "We miss you so much, and we are sending you all of our love."
Jaime, who has survived three dance-offs, remains at home on medical advice, stating, "I am in considerable pain, and my doctors have advised complete rest to give my body the best possible chance to heal."
The competition reached its halfway point during Week 7, though Strictly Come Dancing faces scrutiny regarding its new hosting trio, with producers reportedly planning a meeting to discuss potential line-up changes.
