Strictly shock as contestant quits show hours before live episode

Strictly Come Dancing has been plunged into chaos after series favourite Nigel Harman quit the series with just two weeks to go.

The BBC has announced that the Casualty and ex-EastEnders actor has withdrawn from the competition alongside professional partner Katya Jones hours before Saturday’s live show (2 December) on medical grounds.

It’s being reported that there will be no elimination this week, with the remaining celebrities automatically making it through to the semi-final.

A spokesperson told The Independent: “Unfortunately Nigel has sustained an injury which means he is unable to perform in tonight’s show and has had to withdraw from Strictly.”

According to reports, Harman did not make training this morning, and the other dancers “were informed” this afternoon that he had quit the show..

A source told The Sun: “He and Katya were really disappointed as they were hoping to stay in the competition. They hadn’t been in the bottom two so had a real chance of making it to the finals. Nigel has been training really hard and really threw himself into rehearsals.”
