Delta Goodrem forced into Strictly partner swap
Aljaz Skorjanec will replace him for the Argentine Tango after Kai Widdrington fell ill, while Delta Goodrem had already missed a week with a rib injury.
- Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Kai Widdrington, 31, withdrew from Saturday's live show due to illness, with fellow professional Aljaz Skorjanec, 36, stepping in to perform the Argentine Tango with singer Delta Goodrem, 42.
- The pair previously missed competition after Goodrem suffered a fractured rib requiring doctors' orders to rest. She returned on October 24 to score the series' first 10 for their rumba, despite ongoing recovery challenges.
- Presenter Ellie Taylor confirmed the news on Friday's It Takes Two, prompting fan well-wishes. One viewer commented, "Kai, get better soon; we need you for Blackpool," highlighting concerns about the last-minute partner change.
- Former contestant Ashley Roberts called Goodrem a "trooper," adding that if she lets Skorjanec lead during their Argentine Tango, she will "nail it" tonight.
- Next weekend, the show travels to Blackpool for its annual special, with fans hoping for Widdrington's return. The series continues toward the final on December 19, with tonight's episode airing at 6:25pm on BBC One.
