Laura Whitmore has been in floods of tears after being forced to pull out of Strictly Come Dancing last night.
The blonde beauty was due to take the stage to perform a jive last night, with partner Giovanni Pernice, but had to pull out last minute.
Earlier this week, the 31-year-old sustained an injury and didn’t realise the severity of it until she visited the doctor, who told her to rest and take a break from dancing to prevent permanent damage.
A show insider has revealed that Laura’s absolutely devastated she had to miss the show.
“She’s seen two physios and two medics over the past 24 hours and at 4.15 today show bosses took the decision she could not perform,” the told the Daily Mail.
“It is really enflamed. She’s had to keep it elevated and she’s being given pain killers. She is absolutely gutted. She’s been in floods of tears because she was so excited to be performing,”
The Irish star took to Twitter yesterday evening to break the news to fans that she wouldn’t be taking part in the show.
“Absolutely Devastated… It was a decision taken out of my hands. If it was my choice, I’d be on the dance floor doing my jive with Gio.” she wrote.
“This was by far my favourite dance. We all train really hard. All of us dancing have aches and pains and I didn’t realise the severity of my injury until it was too late. I’m sorry to let you all down. “
We wish Laura a speedy recovery.
