Strictly Come Dancing star Delta Goodrem has been forced to replace her dance partner Kai Widdrington after he was hospitalized. The news comes following a second setback for the Australian singer, who had already withdrawn from the BBC show earlier in the week. Widdrington, a professional dancer on the show, was rushed to the hospital after experiencing a health issue, prompting his absence from the competition.
Sources indicate that Widdrington’s condition remains unclear, with reports suggesting he may not return to the show until 2027. This has led to a last-minute partner swap, with fellow professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec stepping in to replace Widdrington. Skorjanec will now dance the Argentine tango with Goodrem in the upcoming episode.
This is not the first time Goodrem has faced challenges on the show. She had previously withdrawn from a dance due to personal reasons, and now she is dealing with the sudden change in her partnership. The replacement was confirmed by the show’s producers, who stated that the decision was made to ensure the continuity of the competition.
Widdrington’s health issue has left fans concerned, with many expressing support for the dancer on social media. The situation highlights the unpredictable nature of the show, where both contestants and professionals must adapt to unexpected circumstances. The new pairing between Goodrem and Skorjanec will now take center stage as the competition continues.
