Olympic Athlete Jade Johnson has been forced to quit BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, after sustaining a leg injury last week. Jade decided to leave the show over worries that the torn ligament would cause her problems in her sports career.

“I am so, so upset that I am not able to dance tonight. It just makes me see what a wonderful time I’ve had and how much I’m going to miss it,” she said.

“It’s very emotional. Just sitting here is really hard for me. It’s quite sore but it’s fine,” added Jade about her crocked
knee.

A BBC1 insider told The Daily Star: “Jade was really upset. She left it until the last moment to make her decision but she had to think about her career – there was no way she could risk any long-term damage to her knee.”

Olympic long jumper Jade Johnson was forced to pull out of tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing show due to a new leg injury.

The injury occurred during Jade’s final rehearsal of her Tango routine, she was later advised by doctors not to dance on the BBC show.

Johnson told Claudia Winkleman:

“I heard a loud sound and straight away felt pain,” she said. “I’m panicking a bit. Am I going to be able to start back training for my long jump in January?”

Strictly Come Dancing contestant Jade Johnson has reportedly been losing her temper with her partner Ian Waite, after she struggled to master this week’s dance The Jive.

An insider told The Sun: “Jade is a really strong personality. She’s in it to win it and she won’t accept second best from herself – or Ian. They are getting very frustrated and Jade is used to picking things up much more quickly than this.

“There have been a lot of cross words and everything has got a bit emotional.”

Jade and Ian scored their highest marks last week (35 out of 40), but still ended up in the bottom two.

A source said:

“They are falling out, but they always make up. Everything looks effortless on the dance floor but in reality it’s a long and hard slog. Being a contestant on Strictly is not an easy ride whether you’re a celebrity or a professional.”

Strictly Come Dancers, Jade Johnson and Ian Waite were involved in a car crash yesterday. The pair were traveling to the rehearsal studios when the two car collision occurred.

A source on the BBC1 show told The Sun: “Ian and Jade were quite shaken up. They were saying, ‘Oh my God, we’ve just crashed.

“But once they realised it wasn’t too serious they were fine and got on with training when they reached the BBC’s Television Centre in west London.

“They think it might have happened when the car went over a boulder in the road.”

Britain’s belle of track and field, Olympic athlete Jade Johnson is a two-time Commonwealth Games and European Championship silver medallist.

Outspoken in nature, dance-mad Jade has always set herself high standards and hopes to proudly fly the flag for Britain when she takes part in London’s Olympic Games in 2012. Before this she hopes that her Olympic training schedule will help her to leap ahead of the competition in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Jade says: “I once appeared as the mystery guest on A Question Of Sport and had to perform as Beyonce to the song Crazy In Love. It was an absolute nightmare, I told myself after that experience that I would never do anything that involved choreography in the future – I must be mad!”
