Overview
- The Neighbours actor withdrew after tearing his calf during his comeback Charleston with Dianne Buswell, having scored 26 on October 18.
- He told the Mirror he cannot fly to Australia for roughly a fortnight due to a deep vein thrombosis risk linked to the leg injury.
- Buswell rejected speculation that the exit masked limitations from her pregnancy, saying she feels well and is able to dance.
- Dennis said he is devastated but plans to attend the final later this year and indicated he is unlikely to return next series.
- He previously missed a week on medical advice after a vertigo episode and said he performed through painkillers before the injury was confirmed.
