The Strictly Come Dancing live tour was reportedly hit with another illness this week.
It’s said former tennis player Annabel Croft, 57, became “really unwell” and was left bedridden in her hotel room in Nottingham. It’s believed Strictly bosses were worried she wouldn’t be able to dance at the show at Nottingham’s Motor Point Arena on Wednesday night (February 6).
But according to reports, Annabel, who danced with Johannes Radebe on the recent series of the BBC show, felt better later in the day. It meant she was able to perform that evening on the tour, which finishes at London’s O2 Arena on February 11.

An insider told The Sun: “The celebs had a well-deserved day off yesterday but unfortunately Annabelwas really unwell. She spent the whole day in bed in her hotel and only emerged this morning to get some water.

“It was a bit touch and go about if she would be well enough to get on stage this evening. It seems the day of rest has really helped her though – and she will be ready to rumba later.”
Annabel, who came fourth in the competition, has been dancing with Graziano Do Prima on the tour. Unfortunately, Johannes couldn’t attend the tour due to his own show.

“We’re both sad about [not doing the tour together]. I think that Johannes has his own tour, so he’s promoting his own show and I think it was too close to this tour and his body also needs a rest.
“He needs to recharge his batteries so I think he’s probably sad that he couldn’t make it work but I hear that term ‘keep dancing’ and I now realise what that is because I do want to keep dancing.

She added: “When I got the opportunity to do the tour, I thought ‘oh wow, how wonderful to just keep going.’ But of course, I’d love to have been with him.”
