Delta Goodrem's progress on Strictly Come Dancing

Overview

Australian singer Delta Goodrem has continued her participation in the UK television program ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. Following a successful third week where she and partner Kai Widdrington topped the leaderboard with 33 points for a disco-inspired salsa, Goodrem’s momentum was interrupted by a fractured rib. The injury, which she attributed to a combination of lifts during rehearsals, led to medical advice to rest, causing her to miss ‘Icons Week’.

During her absence, Goodrem received a ‘bye week’ to progress to the next round while recovering at home. She expressed her disappointment, stating she was ‘absolutely gutted’ and that missing the week was ‘heartbreaking’. She also noted that the injury caused her to miss a scheduled royal engagement with Queen Camilla.

Following her period of recuperation, the BBC confirmed that Goodrem has been given the all-clear to dance again. She successfully returned to the ballroom for the fifth week of the series, performing a rumba to Celine Dion’s ‘It’s All Coming Back To Me Now’. The performance earned the pair 34 out of 40 points, including their first score of 10 for the season, placing them second on the week's leaderboard.
