Ruth Langsford has revealed she was forced to miss a crucial âStrictly Come Dancingâ rehearsal after suffering an injury.
The daytime queen and HuffPost UK favourite is set to perform a Charleston with partner Anton Du Beke in tonightâs (30 September) second live show of the series, after coming at the bottom of the leaderboard last week.
However, Ruth has shared a video on her Twitter page, revealing sheâs âa little concernedâ about how things are going to play out, after a pulled hamstring meant she was not permitted to attend a pivotal rehearsal.

Ruth explained in the clip, posted on Friday (29 September) evening, the night before her performance: âWe went out to Elstree [Studios] this afternoon to do our rehearsals on the âStrictlyâ dance floor.
âJust before I went down I was in my dressing room and I thought, âIâll just walk through my steps and⊠make sure I know the routineâ, and I kicked my leg out and pulled a hamstring.â
She continued: âSo I had to go to the physio, and she wouldnât let me do the rehearsal this afternoon.
âSheâs told me Iâve got to ice it... and then, you might be able to hear my bath running, Iâve got to have a hot bath, ice it again, take ibuprofen and she said sheâs pretty sure itâll be OK tomorrow.â
Ruth went on to confess she was âmore worried about the lack of rehearsalâ than she was about her hamstring, adding: âWhich is stupid, I know.â
But Ruth isnât the only one of the âStrictlyâ cast to suffer an injury during this weekâs rehearsals, with professional dancer Janette Manrara needing medical attention after being dropped by Aston Merrygold.
See how both Ruth and Janette get on in tonightâs âStrictlyâ live show, kicking off at 6.45pm on BBC One.
