Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell has insisted she will perform on Saturday’s live show, despite being involved in an accident during training.

The Australian dancer was reportedly dropped on her head by partner Dev Griffin as they tried out a tricky move in the training room on Friday.

The Sun claimed Dianne was taken to hospital with suspected concussion after falling when Radio 1 DJ Dev rotated her above his shoulders.

Dianne’s training accident is not the first unfortunate incident to strike one of this year’s Strictly cast.

Last month, Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing was forced to withdraw from the competition after injuring his foot during the recording of the launch show.

He was later replaced by Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher, who was paired with Oti Mabuse.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 7.10pm on BBC One.
