THE Strictly Come Dancing tour is on the cusp of chaos after one of the celebrity dancers suffered a painful injury and was forced to PULL OUT.

Wynne Evans has placed the show's much-loved tour in jeopardy after enduring a painful injury, which has in turn caused him to pull out of tonight's tour show.

The Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour is currently in Glasgow, with two performances due to take place today - one at 2:30pm and another at 7:30pm - with Wynne having pulled out from both last minute.

Not only is Wynne's injury placing the show in jeopardy, but because of the current weather warnings in place up and down the country, one show was even cancelled.

Taking to his Instagram stories on Friday, Wynne, 52, shared a snap of his foot and wrote: "Turned my ankle last night in the show but I'm being a brave soldier."

He then offered an update earlier today (January 25), sharing a snap of his bruised ankle and writing a short caption.

"Ankle update," Wynne announced, adding, "It just turned on stage in Newcastle.

"Sore but swelling is coming out so feeling positive."

But despite him feeling positive, Wynne's dance partner Katya Jones had to issue a statement revealing that they would not be dancing today.

"So sorry we can't dance for you today. But we need a bit of time to heal that ankle," she penned.

FANS REACT TO WYNNE'S INJURY

"Hopefully he's dancing again by Nottingham, it's still over a week away so there's time," said one person on X, reacting to the news.

While another said: "Glasgow got lucky."

This follows on from the cancellation of Friday's show in Glasgow due to severe weather and the current red weather warning in place across the country.

Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood informed fans that Friday night's show would be rescheduled for Sunday due to the adverse weather conditions.

Taking to social media, he wrote: "Sadly, due to the red weather warning in place tomorrow, the Friday evening performance of Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour will be rescheduled to Sunday evening, 26 January.

RESCHEDULED SHOW

"Doors will open at 17.30 and the performance will start at 18.30."

He went on: "Original tickets remain valid for this show. If guests are unable to attend, they should contact their point of purchase for a refund.

"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."

Wynne was partnered with Katya when he competed in the most recent series of the hit dancing show.

WYNNE'S AXING FROM THE SHOW

It was during the Blackpool episode that the Welsh opera singer lost his place on the show.

Wynne and Katya were up against former X Factor winner Shayne Ward and his pro dancer Nancy Xu.

When the pair were eliminated from the show, fans were quick to react.

 

At the time, one person said: "Right decision but I'm sad to see Wynne and Katya go. Katya's my fave pro and Wynne seems like a lovely man.

"I wish people wouldn't say 'thank god for that' and 'it's about time', Wynne's deserved his place in the competition as much as everyone else. I'll miss him."
