Australian singer Delta Goodrem will return to Strictly Come Dancing tonight after missing last week with a rib injury.

Delta Goodrem will return to Strictly Come Dancing tonight after being cleared to dance again following a rib injury. The 41-year-old Australian singer missed last week's show after sustaining the injury but has now recovered sufficiently to compete in week five.

Goodrem and her professional partner Kai Widdrington had strong performances in the opening weeks, topping the judges' leaderboard in weeks one and three before the injury forced her to take a bye.

A Strictly spokesperson confirmed her return, saying: 'Following her bye last week due to injury, we're delighted to confirm Delta has been given the all clear to dance again this weekend. She'll return to the Strictly ballroom on Saturday night.'

Goodrem expressed her gratitude at being able to return to the competition. She said: 'I'm very, very grateful to be back. I'm excited to be here today and just, you know, step-by-stepping it very gently.'

On social media, Goodrem shared her feelings about the forced break. She wrote: 'I was gutted when the injury happened as I've been truly loving this experience so much. It's hard to be patient when you want to be full force again but I've been listening, taking things carefully and learning to appreciate the small steps.'

She added: 'Heading into show day feeling grateful to be able to take a few more tonight with all the incredible help from everyone around me.' The show will also feature an appearance from Goodrem in the Training Room Diaries segment on Wednesday evening.
