The show is set to return to screens next month and one of the celebs' preparations has been dealt a blow thanks to a bug
One of the stars of this year's Strictly Come Dancing has seen her preparations hit off course by a "particularly vicious" bout of food poisoning. Amanda Abbington revealed the news on Thursday, asking for any tips on "how to feel back to normal".
The Sherlock star posted on her Instagram story to share the news with fans, saying: "Food poisoning. Particularly vicious one," she wrote over a black background, adding: "Any tips on how to feel back to normal [would be] greatly appreciated." She signed the urgent message off with two sick face emojis and praying hands. The sickness bug is sure to dent Amanda's training for the show, which begins in a few weeks' time. It's not the first drama to hit this year's show, as it comes after co-star Adam Thomas announced he had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, reports the Mirror.
The hopeful stars will be introduced to fans on Saturday, September 23, as Strictly returns for its 21st series on BBC One. It will run for 13 weeks and finish on Saturday, December 16. Hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, as well as the glitzy judges panel, comprised of Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Head Judge Shirley Ballas will also appear on the launch show.
