Strictly's Tilly Ramsay reveals ‘war wounds’ from tour fall after Nikita Kuzmin pulls out

Strictly Come Dancing star Tilly Ramsay has shared a picture of her painful knee injury, after tripping over during her performance in front of the Live Tour arena audience.

Gordon Ramsay's daughter showed a close up of her bruises and scratches on her knee with her Instagram followers after falling over.

She posted a video of herself taking a tumble during her Couple's Choice routine with temporary partner Neil Jones, followed by a picture of her scratched knee.

Tilly, 20, captioned the video, "and down she goes" followed by crying emojis and one laughing emoji, as well as "Floor: 1 - Me: 0".

Posting a snap of her bruise after tripping and sliding on her knees during the dance routine, Tilly wrote: "Last night's war wounds".

Tilly’s tumble came after the news that her dance partner from the BBC competition Nikita Kuzmin has had to pull out of the tour after testing positive for coronavirus.

Nikita shared the news on his social media account alongside an image of himself with Tilly following their Paso Doble, alongside selfies of him holding up positive lateral flow tests.

He captioned the pictures: "So sad to be missing a portion of the Strictly Live Tour, but unfortunately I tested positive for COVID-19.

"Lots of luck to all the amazing Strictly cast. Will be back as soon as I can.”

Tilly commented on the post, writing: "Missing you," alongside two heart emojis.

While Nikita is out of action with coronavirus, Tilly has been dancing with professional Neil.

The psychology student also impressively balanced her studies as she revealed she'd taken a university exam ahead of the latest live show.

As he revealed his Covid news, Nikita reassured fans that he hopes to be back on tour 'as soon' as possible.

The tour had already been forced to change its line-up after 2021 show finalist AJ Odudu had to pull out of the live dates when the foot injury, which led to her early exit from the TV series, continued to cause problems.

Instead EastEnders actress and 2020 series contestant Maisie Smith stepped in to partner AJ's pro dancer Kai Widdrington.

They are also joined on tour by John Whaite and Johannes Radebe as well as the 2021 winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice.
