Strictly star Jody Cundy issues health update as ‘huge obstacle’ threatens place on show

The sportsman was rushed to hospital with a leg infection this week

Strictly star Jody Cundy has given a health update after he was rushed to hospital this week.

The disabled cyclist and former swimmer was treated for a nasty infection in his leg, leaving his training hanging in the balance.

Jody, 44, wears a prothetic leg and the infection meant he had to take it off and skip training. But despite missing out on vital rehearsal time, it appears Jody will be well enough to perform tonight (October 7).

Strictly stars confirm return of Jody Cundy

Former Strictly pro Janette Manrara confirmed the news on Friday’s Strictly: It Takes Two.

Janette said: “Jody told us last night that he got an infection in his leg and he hadn’t been able to wear his prothetic, so he didn’t get much rehearsals in. They weren’t sure if they were going to dance. But they danced today, everybody! They danced today!”
