Why did Delta Goodrem miss Icons Week on Strictly?
Delta’s update comes after she shared her heartbreak over having to miss Icons Week and the October 17 live show.
In a statement last week, the Australian singer said: “I’m absolutely gutted that a rib injury means I won’t be able to dance on Strictly this week.
“I’ve been loving every second of this experience, so having to sit this one out is heartbreaking – especially after the high of Saturday night.”
She added that she loves being a part of Strictly and would be focusing on resting and recovering.
Delta then thanked everyone for “all the love and support”.
Thankfully, her resting and recovering has paid off as Delta is set to return to Strictly.
