Loose Women star Christine Lampard shared some devastating news at the start of Wednesday’s live show
Loose Women star Christine Lampard opened Wednesday’s (September 24) show with “very sad” news.
During today’s edition of the hit ITV programme, the presenter was joined by co-stars Kelly Brook, Nadia Sawalha, and Jane Moore to discuss a range of topical stories.
At the start of the show, the panel discussed Dani Dyer’s withdrawal from Strictly Come Dancing after she fractured her ankle in training.
“I had a fall on Friday in rehearsals and landed funny. I thought I had rolled my foot, but it swelled up badly over the weekend, and after an MRI scan yesterday, it turns out I have fractured my ankle,” Dani said in a statement.
“Apparently doing the quickstep on a fracture is not advisable (!!) and the doctors have said I am not allowed to dance so I’ve had to pull out of the show.”

On today’s Loose Women, Christine said: “This is very sad news for Strictly Come Dancing contestant Dani Dyer, who has had to pull out of the series just a few days before the first live show after fracturing her ankle whilst training with her partner Nikita Kuzmin.
“Dani is said to be heartbroken and it’s just an understatement, in fact. It’s an awful thing. Obviously she was very excited about doing it and her whole family will have been involved.
“She has little ones, I know they’re very young but still it’s just something that the whole family gets swept up in, and suddenly this awful accident just makes it disappear.”
Kelly, who competed on the BBC show back in 2007, added: “I know! I can relate so much. I did it and I had to pull out week eight. My father passed away when I was on the show.

“It is like a breakup because you and your partner become so close, you spend so much time together, and also, they’re very competitive and want to do well. And so, you feel like you’re letting them down.
“You feel like you’re letting the whole team down, people call in, and they vote for you. I couldn’t watch it for years afterwards. I’m sure she’ll feel the same. It’s really hard to watch it when you have to leave. It’s one of the best shows on telly.”
Christine concluded: “She didn’t even make it to that first proper live show. I think that’ll probably be a huge disappointment, I’m sure.”
After the announcement of her withdrawal, Dani shared an emotional video on her Instagram Story, where she had to pause to gather herself. The BBC has yet to confirm whether the star will be replaced this series.
Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX at 12.30pm, while Strictly Come Dancing is available to stream on BBC iPlayer
