STRICTLY Come Dancing has been thrust into chaos after Stefan Dennis was forced to quit.
Suffering a horror calf muscle tear, Stefan has now pulled out of the iconic BBC One show.
In his statement, Stefan said: “This morning I woke up to the most disappointing day of the time in my Strictly journey.
“Just when I had finally gained the confidence to do well with my dancing in the comp and achieve more great dances along the way, I was told that on Saturday I had torn my calf so significantly that I am now forced to withdraw from the show.
“I can’t tell you how devastated I am to have to leave so prematurely especially, as there has been, and still is, so much love and support from everyone for both Dianne and myself.
“I owe both the Strictly Family and Dianne a massive debt of gratitude for giving me the opportunity to fulfil my dream of being able to dance with my wife. (When my leg is better).”
He concluded: “Fun fact for all the avid Neighbours fans… it’s the same leg!”
