It comes after the BBC issued a statement on Friday to explain that due to an injury, AJ is not medically permitted to dance. AJ said in the statement:"I'm deeply upset that I am unable to perform in the final due to a torn ligament in my right ankle. Learning to dance over the last 13 weeks has been an incredible honour and to do it alongside someone as special, patient and devoted as Kai is something I'll treasure forever.
