Strictly Come Dancing release trailer for new series
Strictly Come Dancing's 2023 celebrities are currently gearing up for the series to begin next weekend as they meet their professional partners.
However the BBC show has been hit with a small setback as three celebrities have suffered from injuries in rehearsals
Amanda Abbington was the first star to reveal she was suffering when she posted images of a blood blister on her Instagram page.
She put the injury down to her dance shoes, telling fans: "Dancing in heels, when you absolutely aren’t a dancer, is clearly a blister minefield but, moreover, very much a young man’s game… however, onwards.
"Back tomorrow for more shenanigans!"
Zara McDermott, who starred on Love Island, was next to reveal she had also injured her foot.
Posting on Instagram, she said her big toe has "seen better days".
Zara was seen wearing black flip flops to give her feet a break from the uncomfortable dancing shoes.
And, Adam Thomas has also been struggling in rehearsals as he said he was "struggling" and "in pain" after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
He posted on his Instagram page: "Am not in the best shape of my life, but I could be worse.

Fans of the show will be hoping all three celebrities recover quickly for their first dance with their professional partners in a matter of weeks.
It comes after it was reported the celebrity pairings had been leaked online.
Judge Anton du Beke reacted to the news, saying it was "irritating" there were people who wanted to spoil the show for fans.
He told Metro.co.uk: "That irritates me. I get irritated. I hate anybody who's a spoiler.
"I can only think they take great pleasure from it and I just want to say grow up. Don't spoil it for other people."
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One on Saturday 16th September at 6.45pm.
