RUMOURS Good Morning Britain’s Narinder Kaur to REPLACE Dani Dyer on Strictly CAUSE STIR
Narinder Kaur has claimed her “phone is on loud” after a fan suggested she should replace Strictly Come Dancing contestant Dani Dyer who had to withdraw from the 2025 series just days before the first live show which airs on BBC One this Saturday.
Dani, 29, admitted she was “heartbroken” about having to withdraw from Strictly Come Dancing with her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin after sustaining a painful injury during rehearsals. As it stands, BBC bosses have yet to confirm the former Love Island star’s replacement.
In the wake of the crushing news for reality TV star Dani, a fan of Narinder took to X, sharing a picture of her looking stunning in an orange laced gown and captioned the post: “Now that Dani Dyer has sadly had to pull out of #Strictly (why couldn’t it be Tom?!) Petition to get Narinder Kaur on as the replacement!”
Clearly flattered by the remark, the outspoken Big Brother star retweeted the post and cheekily penned: “Phone is on loud all day.”
The BBC’s Strictly account was tagged in her post, but her comment has sparked quite the debate on the social media platform. One X user fumed: “No thanks. Not after the way she criticised the selection. Be a hypocrite if she accepted.” A second simply penned the word: “Desperate.”
Someone else said: “More chance of being bitten by a dandelion.” Another added: “I think you might be waiting a very long time for that call.”
A supportive person wrote: “All these sad keyboard warriors seething with jealousy and hate—it makes me laugh! They need to concentrate on their own lives! I hope you get the call!” Another said, “I would love to see you on Strictly Narinder.”
Dani said in a statement on Tuesday night: “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.
“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. To say I’m heartbroken is the biggest understatement. I am so going to miss dancing with Nikita but will of course be watching closely and cheering all the couples on.”
According to reports, BBC bosses are allegedly in talks to replace Dani with Waterloo Road star Tillie Amartey. However, a spokesman said: “We don’t comment on speculation.”
