Fans were left devastated last year after it was revealed Made In Chelsea’s Jamie Laing had been forced from Strictly Come Dancing before the first live show due to a foot injury. However, he is now fighting fit and there are rumours the reality star could be about to sign up for the 2020 series to give it another go.
At Christmas it was the turn of Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher and his professional partner Oti Mabuse to lift the illustrious Glitterball trophy.
But they wouldn’t have been able to get to the final if Jamie hadn’t hurt his foot just weeks before the first live show.
After injuring his foot, Jamie was stuck in a protective boot for two months as his injury healed.
Jamie has now revealed he is “fighting fit” and could be ready to get back on the dancefloor for the new show in September.
