Meanwhile, Strictly Come Dancing has already had to deal with a huge challenge to the show after Jamie Laing, who was partnered with Oti Mabuse, injured his foot during the launch show and was forced to drop out of the series. He was quickly replaced by Kelvin Fletcher, who has been training tirelessly to catch up with the other contestants who began their training in August. Chatting on Instagram about working with Oti, he said: "The warm up this morning, I was tired after the warm up. We hadn't even started dancing and I was like, 'I can't go anymore'. Well a stretch, whatever it was, I was shattered. That's one thing I need to work on, my flexibility. I'm not mobile enough, am I?"
