Actress Alex Kingston is reportedly dancing with a dislocated rib, according to her daughter. The 62-year-old performer was said to have continued her routine at the Tower Ballroom on Saturday evening, despite the injury.
This news follows the withdrawal of another contestant, La Voix, who was forced out of the competition due to a foot injury sustained earlier in the week. Fans have expressed significant concern over the increasing number of injuries affecting contestants this season, with many describing the current series as "cursed." Some viewers believe they observed Kingston wincing during her performance, which received positive feedback and a score of 35 from the judges.
This spate of injuries has led to speculation about the show's future and the possibility of a reduced final. The withdrawals began before the series even started, with Dani Dyer fracturing an ankle in rehearsals.
Professional dancer Dianne Buswell and her celebrity partner Stefan Dennis also withdrew after Dennis injured his calf. The article also touches upon wider scandals affecting the BBC and potential future considerations for the show.
