Kai Widdrington Sits Out Strictly Show as Aljaž Steps In

11/13 @ 7:05pm by Morten Nielsen

Strictly Come Dancing professional Kai Widdrington will miss Saturday’s programme after falling ill

He was due to perform an Argentine Tango with partner Delta Goodrem, but fellow dancer Aljaž Škorjanec will take his place

The setback follows a difficult few weeks for the pair, after Delta was forced to rest with a rib injury, causing them to miss Week Four

Fans and head judge Shirley Ballas shared messages of support online, while viewers will be hoping Kai recovers in time for the competition’s upcoming Blackpool special.
