Jaime Winstone to miss this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing due to injury

Jaime Winstone will not dance on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend due to injury.

A Strictly spokesperson says: "Due to injury, Jaime Winstone has been advised by doctors to rest and, as a result, she will not dance in this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing. In line with the rules of the show, Jaime and Carlos will receive a bye through to next week when it is hoped they will be able to dance again. We wish Jaime the very best as she continues her recovery."

Jaime Winstone says: "I am absolutely devastated not to be dancing this weekend due to a torn abdominal muscle. I am in considerable pain, and my doctors have advised complete rest to give my body the best possible chance to heal. As frustrating as it is, I have to put my health first and follow their advice to step away from dancing this week.

"I love every moment of dancing and performing with Carlos, and I am praying for a speedy recovery so that I can continue this magical journey.

"I want to thank everyone for their incredible support so far. It means more than you know. Wishing everyone on the show all the luck, love and strength for Saturday night and I hope to be back on that dance floor very soon. With love, Jaime."
