‘Sick’ Strictly star reportedly worried he won’t make tonight’s show

Rehearsals this week have taken their toll

Enders fave Davood Ghadami is worried his Strictly journey might come to a bumpy end – because his rehearsals for tonight’s dance have made him sick!

Davood’s dancing the Viennese Waltz tonight with partner Nadiya Bychkova.

But the twirly, turning style of the dance has left him feeling sick as a dog and now he’s worried he might not even make it to tonight’s live show!

“All the spinning of the Viennese Waltz has left him with dizzy spells and sickness,” a Strictly source told The Sun.

“He has been fine up to this point in the competition but this has knocked him for six. Producers hope he’ll be OK for the big show.”

Davood, who plays buff market trader Kush Kazemi in EastEnders, has been enjoying his time on Strictly so far.

Last week, Davood and Nadiya wowed the audience with their super-sexy samba to Staying Alive.

But judge Bruno Tonioli got into trouble when he said their dance was like “a race to the bedroom”.

After the show, Strictly pro dancer Brendan Cole – who’s dancing with Saturdays star Mollie King – pointed out Bruno’s comments were inappropriate because both Davood and Nadiya have partners.

And he added: “Strictly’s a family show. Imagine your kid asking you what ‘race to the bedroom’ means!”

Davood’s not the only star to be struggling with their rehearsals for tonight’s live show. Poor Susan Calman, who’s dancing a quickstep with partner Kevin Clifton, has had to visit the Strictly physio about her aching feet.

Susan, who thrilled fans with her Wonder Woman inspired routine last week, tweeted a picture of her bound tootsies, saying: “Tape them up, get dancing Calman.”

And later she shared that she was soaking her sore legs in ice to prevent shin splints but nothing would stop her dancing!

With all this drama already, we can’t wait for tonight’s live show!
