As Dani Dyer's journey on Strictly Come Dancing came to an unexpected end, she's decided to take a break from the rest of 2025. The 29-year-old Love Island star suffered a severe ankle injury during rehearsals, which unfortunately prevented her from participating in the current series. It was a huge disappointment for Dani, who was excited to showcase her dancing skills on live television.
In a recent chat with her mom, Joanna, on their podcast Live And Let Dyers, Dani shared her feelings about the situation. She admitted that she's "done" with this year and is ready to move on to 2026. However, she clarified that she's not trying to be negative, but rather, she's just accepting the disappointment and looking forward to the new year.
Joanna found Dani's response amusing and even called her out for being selfish. But Dani explained that she's not angry, just a little down and disappointed. She shared how she was looking forward to coffee dates and other activities, but her injury has put a damper on those plans. Despite feeling a bit down, she doesn't want to dwell on the negative and is trying to stay positive.
Dani was set to compete with her dance partner, Nikita Kuzmin, and they were both excited about the opportunity. However, due to her injury, Dani had to step down from the competition, which left her feeling gutted. She had been having the time of her life preparing for the show, and it was heartbreaking for her to have to leave.
During a conversation with her dad, Danny Dyer, Dani opened up about her disappointment and how she was struggling with her mental health. She shared how she felt like she would just burst into tears if anyone asked her how she was doing. But Danny, being the supportive father that he is, encouraged her to pull up her "big girl knickers" and keep moving forward. He reminded her that despite this setback, it had still been an incredible year for her.
Although Dani won't be able to continue her Strictly journey, she's not letting it get her down. She's looking forward to what the future holds and is ready to take on new challenges. And as for Strictly, she'll be rooting for her fellow contestants and watching from the sidelines. Who knows, maybe she'll have another chance to compete in the future. Until then, Dani is staying positive and looking forward to what's to come.
