Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis has pulled out of this weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing show due to illness.
The 66-year-old and his dance partner Dianne Buswell will receive a bye to next week’s show.
A statement from Strictly on Instagram read: “Due to illness over the past few days, Stefan Dennis has been advised by doctors to rest and, as a result, he will not dance this weekend.
“In line with the rules of Strictly, Stefan and Dianne will receive a bye through to next week when they will hopefully be able to dance again.”
A post in the comments from Dennis’s official account read: “A huge cheers and thanks to everyone who has been supporting myself and Dianne.
“So sorry to disappoint for tomorrow night but I expect to be back on deck with a full recovery and a rip roaring dance next week to make up.”
Buswell also posted on Instagram to wish Dennis well, adding: “You are such a trooper and I know how much you wanted to dance. Hopefully we will be back in full force next week.”
The other 13 couples will take to the dancefloor for Movie Week on Saturday.
