Dani Dyer left Strictly Come Dancing because she fractured her ankle during rehearsals. She "landed awkwardly" and initially thought she had just rolled her foot, but after swelling and an MRI scan, it was confirmed she had a fracture. Doctors advised her not to dance, leading to her withdrawal from the competition. Dani expressed that she was heartbroken to leave, as she was having the best time, and she will miss dancing with her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin.
