Artem's nose
We have some important BREAKING news this afternoon, poor Artem has had his nose broken by Natalie’s flying elbow in dress rehearsal. The tough Russian will bravely continue through the pain and will dance in Saturday’s live show.
Artem’s injury follows Patrick’ mis-hap earlier this week, as well as his partner Natalie’s swollen disc and nerve problems in her back.
Strictly is also welcoming back Judge Craig Revel-Horwood after he had a successful hip operation on Sunday.
If this rate of injuries continues Strictly may to be filmed in Casualty next week.
