Strictly Come Dancing's Jamie Laing pulls out of 2019 series

Strictly Come Dancing's Jamie Laing will not be taking part in the 2019 series after injuring his foot in training.

The Sun reports that the Made In Chelsea veteran hurt his foot after landing awkwardly during the recording for the opening show, due to air this Saturday on BBC One.

The 30-year-old said he was 'devastated' with the news.

He was spotted on crutches and with a boot on his injured foot last weekend while out and about with girlfriend Sophie Habboo.

Jamie said: "I’m absolutely devastated that I’m unable to continue in the competition, I was so excited to hit the dance floor. I would like to wish the lovely couples all the very best and hope they enjoy their time on the show to the fullest.”
