The BBC has announced that Stefan Dennis has left Strictly Come Dancing due to an injury.
In a post on social media, BBCStrictly said: “Sadly due to an injury Stefan Dennis is leaving Strictly. We have loved watching Stefan and Dianne create magic on the dance floor with their Team Aussie energy. He will be sorely missed by the entire Strictly family.

Mr Dennis says: “This morning I woke up to the most disappointing day of my time in my Strictly journey.
“Just when I had finally gained the confidence to do well with my dancing in the competition and achieve more great dances along the way, I was told on Saturday that I had torn my calf so significantly that I am now forced to withdraw from the show.
“I can’t tell you how devastated I am to have to leave so prematurely especially as there has been, and still is, so much love and support from everyone for both Dianne and myself.”
The Neighbours actor was previously unable to perform on October 11 due to illness.
There is no indication as of yet if former England rugby player Chris Robshaw will be reinstated to the show, after he was eliminated yesterday.
