October 22, 2025

NEIGHBOURS actor Stefan Dennis has pulled out of Strictly Come Dancing after injuring his calf.

The Australian actor, 66, who was paired with professional dancer Dianne Buswell on the BBC One show, was unable to perform on Saturday, October 11 because of illness, but returned last weekend, scoring 26 points for a Charleston to Dance Monkey by Tones And I.

In a social media post, Dennis said: “This morning I woke up to the most disappointing day of my time in my Strictly journey.

“Just when I had finally gained the confidence to do well with my dancing in the competition and achieve more great dances along the way, I was told that on Saturday I had torn my calf so significantly that I am now forced to withdraw from the show.
