Strictly Come Dancing viewers are reacting after Delta Goodrem is required to dance with a different partner shortly before a live show. Manchester Evening News reports that fans say the pairing “should have” been different, after Goodrem was not able to perform with Kai Widdrington on Saturday night.
Other outlets frame the same disruption as part of the build-up to upcoming live programming, including BBC “Blackpool week.” The Independent says Goodrem faces a last-minute partner swap and situates the incident within the wider competition, noting that nine couples remain as the show approaches its Blackpool segment. The Belfast Telegraph similarly reports that Goodrem is forced into a partner swap, emphasizing the change itself. Another Independent piece explains why Goodrem will be dancing with a different partner this weekend, providing additional context for the late alteration.
