Delta Goodrem to miss this week’s Strictly after rib injury
Australian singer Delta Goodrem has a rib injury and will miss this week’s Strictly Come Dancing.
She hurt herself during training but danced with partner Kai Widdrington on Saturday, when they topped the leaderboard for the second week in a row.
Afterward, pain led her to seek hospital treatment on Sunday and again on Monday.
Doctors have advised her to rest, and the show’s rules allow her and Widdrington to miss one week without leaving the competition.
They are due to return next week if she is well enough to dance.
If she cannot return then, the rules could require her to withdraw.
