"I don't wanna share much about this tbh because it still makes me all emosh and besides... we can't just be looking at my feet. They're shy!"
AJ's injury very sadly means that she is unable to join her dance partner Kai on Strictly tour, who shared the first snap of himself with his new dance character, 2020 Strictly runner-up Maisie Smith, during rehearsals. He captioned the post: "Rehearsals for the @strictlycomedancinglive tour are well under way @maisiesmithofficial."

Kai previously opened up about going on tour with a new partner, writing: "I’m really gutted to hear that @ajodudu wont be able to join me on the BBC Strictly Tour around the UK. I know we were both really focused and willing to get back on the floor in the Arenas and finish what we started. I know we will get to dance again very soon and I am sending all my love and well wishes to AJ for a quick recovery.

"With that, I am also very lucky to say that I get to continue on the tour with my amazing new tour partner @maisiesmithofficial who as you all now SMASHED last years Strictly. I cannot wait to see you all on the road and get to dance in front of a live audience once again. See you all soon."
