Balvinder Sopal suffered a hip and glute injury during rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing but has returned to training ahead of the show's launch, BBC reported.

  • Days before the launch, Balvinder Sopal was rushed to medical experts after injuring herself during rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing, which airs Saturday, September 20.
  • Earlier this week, Balvinder Sopal revealed she hurt herself during practice when `something popped`, and on the second day of training a physio assessed her left glute and hip.
  • Posting on Instagram, Sopal showed she was training on day three, noting her left glute and left hip felt tight but she has since returned to training and will perform with her professional dance partner revealed Saturday.
  • Show medical staff promptly assessed Sopal after the incident, and other contestants, including Vicky Pattison, have also sustained rehearsal injuries.
  • At 46, Balvinder Sopal, EastEnders actress best known as Suki Panesar, called Strictly a long-held dream and the hardest work she's undertaken.
