It had to happen, it always happens. Just before the launch of a new series of Strictly Come Dancing, someone else gets injured!

The latest casualty of the show has been Eastenders actor, Matt Di’Angelo, who has been ordered to take three days out from rehearsing after tearing his knee ligaments.

The Sun: “One minute I was dancing and all of a sudden I was in pain. I pulled some ligaments in my leg and I’ve had to have physio.

“I’m out of action for a few days, which is annoying as I’ve been practising hard. We’ve been doing four hours a day and it’s really, really difficult. It makes EastEnders look easy.”

Strictlt Come Dancing kicks off on ITV1 next Saturday…lets hope Matt is fit and well by then.
