Stefan Dennis Quits Strictly After Calf Tear as Dianne Buswell Dismisses Exit Rumors

Doctors have barred the 66-year-old from flying for two weeks because of deep vein thrombosis risk.

Overview

  • A scan confirmed a significant calf tear, and Dennis says he cannot dance for about two months.
  • He completed Saturday’s Charleston on painkillers and earned his highest score of 26 before withdrawing.
  • Dennis asked producers to reinstate recently eliminated Chris Robshaw, but they declined under the show’s rules.
  • He says he will attend the Strictly final in December and has indicated he does not plan to return as a contestant next year.
  • Buswell and show bosses rejected speculation linking the exit to her pregnancy, with Buswell saying the time off will be the greater struggle.
