Stacey Dooley has given an update on her injury ahead of this week’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The documentary maker and reality TV contestant recently suffered an injury during rehearsals that left her unable to practice.
She later confirmed that she hadn’t broken anything and that she would still be performing on Saturday’s instalment of Strictly.
Taking to Instagram, Dooley wrote:
“Nothings broke!
“All the drugs and all the cuppas gonna hook us up! See you Sat! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH TO ALL THE STAFF. You are all bloody amazing.”

Dooley’s agent later confirmed to The Sun that she had tore an intercostal muscle behind her rib and that she was advised by doctors not to move a lot.
“It’s very painful,” they said. “She is strapped up and the doctor has said she should be able to move in a couple of days.”
Dooley and dance partner Kevin Clifton have been praised week after week by the judges who have been very impressed with the film-maker’s progress.

Her injury this week means that she will receive significantly less time than the other dancers to prepare for her performance.
On Saturday evening, Dooley and Clifton impressed the judges yet again with their Tango, earning them a very decent 35 points.
