Strictly Come Dancing - Austin Healey to quit?
Friday, 3 October 2008
Strictly fans could be left disappointed if Austin Healey decides to leave the hit show.
The current favourite to win has been suffering from a bad back during training and has admitted to The Mirror that he thought his dancing days were over on Wednesday.
Austin wrote in his official Strictly Come Dancing blog: "I'm really looking forward to doing the jive on Saturday but we haven't really trained this week because I pulled a muscle in my back at the start of yesterday's session, so we've really just had Monday and Tuesday.
"Last night I thought I was out of the competition but it's a bit better today so hopefully it will be OK.
Austin is also winning the weight competition as he has lost two stone since he started training. John Sergeant has lost a respectable one stone but will be hoping to survive Saturday so he can lose more weight.
Strictly fans shouldn't be disappointed on Saturday if Austin dances - he is still favourite to get the top score.
He told The Mirror: "Fortunately I've picked the jive up quite quickly so hopefully we will be OK even with the lack of training.
"My outfit this week is tight, spangly and revealing. It's actually a lot like Ola Jordan's but without the sleeves!"
