Strictly Come Dancing's Jody Cundy issues injury update

Jody Cundy, a Paralympian athlete, has shared an update on his injury to let people know he was worried he may have had to quit Strictly Come Dancing.

During the movie-themed week, Cundy went to the hospital and he confirmed that he will still be participating in the dance show despite the visit.

During his time on the BBC One show, he was studying the Viennese Waltz when his leg became infected. He stated that this infection was caused by perspiration accumulating between his natural leg and prosthetic limb.

Cundy was given a total of 20 points by the judges on October 7 and was ranked at the bottom of the leaderboard. Along with his professional dance partner Jowita Przystal, who won the Glitterball Trophy in 2022 with wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin.

Cundy talked about his concerns about leaving the show in case his leg problem does not improve. He mentioned that he had some worries when his leg was really bad and he could not use it, and he thought he might not be able to dance. This made him uncertain about what to do next.

Fortunately, on the morning of Friday, October 6, I was able to reattach my leg. As a result, all of the anxiety I had about my injury has dissipated. Now, I can focus on putting in the effort to improve my skills and become a better dancer.

According to Cundy, his leg has improved since he contracted the infection.

He expressed that things are going well for him. He has regained the ability to walk on both his feet, which is definitely a positive sign. For the entire week, he has been able to walk steadily. Now, they are working on taking some extra precautionary measures to ensure that his leg remains healthy.

I believe that having consecutive training sessions for three weeks might have caused harm to my leg, but I noticed that I was using a different method to support it, unlike how I usually do it.

The weather is consistently warm and humid, causing me to feel heated and perspired throughout the entire day. The lining of the material is made of silicone, which does not allow air to pass through easily. This means that after spending seven hours training while wearing it, all the sweat accumulates inside, leading to an unpleasant and uncomfortable feeling.

At the moment, we are taking a pause and attending to the task of tidying up and ensuring that everything is functioning correctly. Our main objective is to prevent any potential issues from occurring by guaranteeing optimal conditions.

Following her performance in the fourth week of the competition, Cundy is now anxiously awaiting the outcome of the elimination round to find out which contestant will be sent packing.

He expressed that he didn't want to return home over the upcoming weekend as he has grown accustomed to the current task and enjoys the rhythm of it.

I feel like I have just started exploring the world of dancing. We have already practiced some dances, and I am getting the hang of it. So the possibility of missing next week's session is discouraging.

The outcome of Strictly Come Dancing will be available for viewing on BBC One at 7:15 pm on Sunday. The next episode of Strictly Come Dancing premieres on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday.
