Strictly Come Dancing competitor, Tom Chambers has been injured during rehearsals this week.

Tom is said to have crashed into a wall as he and dance partner Cammila Dallerup tried to master the quickstep.

A source told The Sun: “He was left in terrible pain and his first thought was that he had dislocated his shoulder.

“He decided to sleep on it but by the morning it was clear the pain wasn’t going to go away and he had to get it checked out. Tom just hopes that it gets better and he can compete in Saturday’s show.”

Tom Chambers is due to get married this Sunday, but has admitted that he is more nervous about performing on Strictly the night before than the big ceremony.

Tom told The Sun: “I am more nervous about dancing on Saturday night than the wedding itself.

“I’ve been waiting for this day for 11 years so am not nervous in the slightest. It will be the best day of my life.

“Hopefully, I will do enough on Saturday night to get through to the next round as getting voted out could have an impact on the wedding day.”

Holby City star Tom Chambers has been signed up for this years Strictly Come Dancing series, but some people are wondering how he can compete as an amateur, when judging by the video above he is as good as some of the professional dancers.

However a source close to Tom told The Sun that he has no ballroom experience and only made the Fred Astaire video to drum up some new auditions for him before he landed the role in Holby.

“He is not a highly trained dancer.

“He really made this video out of desperation.

“He was an unemployed actor for six years, working as a lorry driver without a sniff of an audition.

“In a bid to make himself stand out in the crowd, he spent eight-and-a-half months studying the video of Fred Astaire. Read more & comment »

Tom Chambers (Strictly Come Dancing partner is Camilla Dallerup)

Tom is best known for playing the hospital lothario in BBC One’s Holby City. His hearthrob status was sealed when his character Sam Strachan romanced, and fathered the child of, his boss, as well as engaging in several relationships with the ward sisters.

A big fan of dance and choreography, Tom has proved that he has his eye on winning Strictly Come Dancing by postponing his wedding and honeymoon plans.

Tom says: “I had to tell my wedding guests that it was because of my Holby filming commitments!”

He adds: “I want to become an excellent mover – I can’t wait to learn ballroom and wear the posh costumes. Hopefully I’ll last longer in the competition than I did on the celebrity Weakest Link where I was voted off in the first round!”
