Just a day before the grand final of Strictly Come Dancing 2021, one of the final three pairs has pulled out of the competition.
AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington, John Whaite and Johannes Radebe, or Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice had each earned a place in the final, which will air on Saturday, December 18.
But the final show has been plagued by problems including injuries and a covid case.

AJ, 33, has suffered a foot injury which has left her having to use crutches.
The star admitted that she felt "frustrated and upset" about the injury which she incurred with just days to go before the final dances.
The BBC has today said she and Kai have withdrawn from the competition.
In an Instagram post, BBC Strictly said: "Sadly due to injury AJ and Kai have had to withdraw from #Strictly and won’t compete in tomorrow’s final.
"We want to thank them for 13 incredible weeks on the show and the pure joy they brought to the dance floor every week."
In the final, all contestants from the year's show are invited back for one final dance.
But Tilly Ramsay also won't be able to make her appearance as planned, as the celeb chef's daughter has tested positive for covid.
