Delta Goodrem withdraws from Strictly Come Dancing due to injury

Delta Goodrem has been forced to withdraw from this weekend’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing due to a rib injury. Following a performance last week where she was reportedly in “absolute agony,” Goodrem was taken to the hospital.

As a result of the injury, Goodrem and her dance partner, Kai Widdrington, have been granted a “bye week,” allowing them to progress to the next round of the competition while she recovers at home. The BBC expressed hope that she will be able to return to the dance floor next week.

Goodrem shared her gratitude for the support received on social media, noting that while it was not the start to the week she had hoped for, she is focused on resting and recuperating. Her partner, Widdrington, praised her dedication, stating that she “puts everything aside” to focus on her passion for dancing despite her busy professional schedule.
