Doctors advised Goodrem to rest, and she and Kai Widdrington get a bye through to next week.
Delta Goodrem will not dance on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend because of a rib injury. The show says on Instagram that doctors have advised the Australian singer to rest.
Goodrem and her partner Kai Widdrington will get a bye, which means they skip this week. The show hopes they will be able to dance again next week.
Goodrem said she was absolutely gutted, especially after the high of Saturday night. The pair had topped the leaderboard last week.
Goodrem said she plans to rest, and hopes to be back on the dance floor soon.
