Strictly star shows off agonising tour injury after dates cancelled over Storm Éowyn

A Strictly Come Dancing star took to his Instagram Stories to share a picture of a nasty injury he got on stage

Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans said he was 'being a brave soldier' after he injured his ankle while performing on the live tour.

The star took to his Instagram Stories to share a picture of his swollen ankle and wrote as the caption: "Turned my ankle last night in the show but I'm being a brave soldier." It comes after the Friday evening show was cancelled due to the extreme weather in the UK.

Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood took to his Instagram story on Thursday night and shared an important update to disappointed fans, in which he wrote: "Sadly, due to the red weather warning in place tomorrow, the Friday evening performance of Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour will be rescheduled to Sunday evening, 26 January. Doors will open at 17.30 and the performance will start at 18.30.

"Original tickets remain valid for this show. If guests are unable to attend, they should contact their point of purchase for a refund. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause." A red weather warning was placed in Scotland between 10am-5pm with winds with forecasters warned of a potential danger to life due to the unprecedented gales.

All trains and bus services in the city have been cancelled, meaning attendees may have struggled to get to the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. The OVO Hydro's X page also posted a statement similar Craig's one and said: "Due to the red weather warning in place tomorrow, the Friday evening performance of Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour will be rescheduled to Sunday evening, 26 January.

"Doors will open at 17.30 and the performance will start at 18.30. Original tickets remain valid for this show. If guests are unable to attend they should contact their point of purchase for a refund. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."

Wynne previously shared a few backstage stories from the tour. During an appearance on the One Show, he said: "It's fun, you know, it's just real fun, it's absolute entertainment. Craig [who is a judge] is as rude as ever. He called me right, yesterday, he said that I was stompy and flat footed. Right?"

He added: "So I said: 'Have you heard your album, mate, that's stompy and flat if ever I've heard it!' So yeah, there's quite a lot of banter and he gave me a two yesterday, so I was absolutely gutted, just because I was a bit rude about his album!"
