As Strictly Come Dancing fans continue to feel the sting of Amanda Abbington's exit, we take a closer look at several other big name stars that have quit over the years
Strictly Come Dancing fans were dealt a crushing blow this week, when celebrity contestant Amanda Abbington revealed she was pulling out of the competition due to “medical problems.”
“I did not come to this decision easily or lightly but for personal reasons I am unable to continue. It was an absolute joy working with my fellow contestants, they are a beautiful, hardworking and talented group of people who I love and who I will miss seeing every Friday and Saturday and competing alongside.”
The firm fan favourite had successfully performed his dance routine with partner Katya Jones to receive a score from the judges but due to an injury sustained in the dance, he was unable to perform again and compete in the dance off, prompting him to leave the competition. In line with the health and safety policies in place at the time, this meant that the couple were no longer able to compete and saw Nicola sadly axed from the show with no other alternative.
During week six, Will was given a bye to allow him to pass ahead to the next week in order to recover, but sadly one week’s rest wasn’t enough to heal his injury, with the athlete warned he "absolutely could not dance". Jamie Laing - Series 17 One star that famously quit the show before even making it to the dance floor was Made in Chelsea favourite Jamie Laing, who was signed up to compete in series 17.
Despite being unable to compete in 2019, Jamie did eventually manage to make it onto the ballfloor in 2020, when he danced his way to the final week with Karen Hauer, before being pipped to the trophy by Bill Bailey. Jade Johnson - Series 7 Team GB long jumper Jade Johnson also made the difficult decision to withdraw from the show after she suffered a knee injury during rehearsals back in 2009.
After making the decision to bow out of the show, John teased that winning would have been “a joke too far”, as he felt there were far more worthy competitors to take home the trophy. Initially, Kelly had attempted to continue to fight for her place in the competition as it was something her dad would have wanted, however, her grief was still too raw and she struggled in rehearsals, before ultimately deciding to make the tough decision to withdraw.
