Actress Natalie Gumede could be forced to miss this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing as she awaits a medical opinion an agonising back problem.
The former Coronation Street star had to miss training yesterday and went for an MRI scan amid fears that she may have slipped a disc which would cast a shadow over her involvement in the show. Gumede has already proved to be a dancefloor talent, topping the leader board again at the weekend after achieving a score of 36 from the awestruck judging panel for her rumba to Rihanna's Love The Way You Lie. Trouble: Natalie Gumede may have to miss Strictly Come Dancing this week due to a back problem She will see a consultant this morning after taking painkillers and resting at home to reduce the swelling. She is awaiting the results of her scan to find out the extent of her injury and to see whether she is able to continue training with professional partner Artem Chigvintsev. He said: ‘We had to finish rehearsal early on Tuesday because of the pain in Natalie's back - if it is serious she might not be able to continue.’ Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...#ixzz2hvujxywN Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook |
Corrie star Natalie Gumede is blogging exclusively for Yahoo as she tries her luck at Strictly Come Dancing this year with partner Artem Chigvintsev. She topped the leaderboard (again) with her rumba on Saturday night but was struck down on Tuesday with an agonising back injury and fears she may not be able to keep dancing...
By this point in the Strictly process, I'm learning to expect the unexpected. No surprise shocks me. Saturday's rumba was fraught with mistakes, getting heels caught in my dress, and erm....shall we say 'improvised hairography' which was disorientating. None of which happened in the dress run or any other rehearsal, but Artem supported me though all my faults, and because of the emotion of the dance we were lucky enough to get a great response. By the end of the evening when we made it through the eliminations we were both feeling quite choked after what had been a long and tiring week, and I am really starting to realise just how much I love this process and how I want to soak up every moment and learn everything I can from the very BEST in the business. This week we are dancing the quickstep, and upon hearing the music we were dancing to - a reworking of Usher's 'Yeah' - I was immediately excited. Artem's choreography is incredible, and we were having such great fun interacting through the dance that we knew were going to have the time of our lives on the Strictly stage. Tuesday's rehearsal however, brought a nasty halt to the good time we were having. Part way through the quickstep I started to feel faint, and upon repeating the dance I started to notice my back seizing up to the point where I was unable to lift my leg. The next time I tried, an agonising pain shot from my bottom down my leg, and my lower back started throbbing. What was particularly terrifying was that the pain was all too familiar, as I had had a back injury 10 years ago that has given me problems on and off ever since. I was just so lucky to be with Artem at the time who kicked straight into action, as well the lovely people at Strictly. My life for the last 48 hours has been The Only Way Is Harley Street, and what a scary 48 hours it's been. I've been through three GP appointments, two back specialists, an MRI scan and now an epidural/steroid injection - and I STILL don't know if I can dance on Saturday night. The original fear was a slipped disc which has now been eliminated, but there is still some bulging of the disc and wearing of the facet joint which is causing nerve pain through the legs. Under normal circumstances, rest would be the order of the day - under these circumstances, I need to get physical in less than 24 hours to stand a chance of making the live show. I am now waiting to have the steroid injection, a few hours after which my verdict will be delivered; but for now the jury is still out. |
Now she'll be on equal footing with the other contestants. :hmph:

*Breaking* news... but not too broken we hope. Natalie Gumede is suffering with sciatica and a compressed disc in her back after an old injury resurfaced this week.
Natalie, who is currently at the top of the Strictly leader board with 36 points, has had to miss two days of training to fit in an MRI scan yesterday and physio treatment this morning. Although she and her dance partner Artem Chigvintsev haven’t had as long to rehearse, Natalie is determined to still dance on Saturday night. We’ll keep you posted on developments as and when they happen, but in the meantime, we wish Natalie a very speedy recovery. BBC website |
