Strictly Come Dancing Kai Widdrington illness Delta Goodrem Aljaz Skorjanec, Digi Mart USA News: Strictly Come Dancing professional Kai Widdrington will not perform in this weekend’s live show, according to an announcement reported by Digital Spy. Widdrington is partnered with Delta Goodrem, who herself had to miss a week earlier in the series due to an injury.
A statement said: “Due to illness, Kai is unable to dance on tomorrow night’s show. Instead, Aljaz will step in to dance the Argentine Tango with Delta.” Aljaz Skorjanec will team up with Delta for one week only as she competes for a coveted spot in the annual Blackpool special.
Head judge Shirley Ballas responded in the comments section, writing “@kaiwidd hugs get well soon”. Host Ellie Taylor, announcing the news on spin-off show It Takes Two, said: “Kai, we are sending you so much love.
Feel better soon!”
Aljaz previously competed this year with Melanie Walters, but they were the second pairing to be eliminated. Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu are also returning to the floor this weekend after Jaime was given a bye following a torn abdominal muscle and medical advice to rest.
Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturday and Sunday nights on BBC One and streams on iPlayer.
