A Saltcoats dancer named Aria McCart has emerged as the winner of the Strictly Kids UK competition. Despite her victory, Aria had a mishap after the event and had to undergo emergency surgery. Her family is now focused on her recovery and planning a celebration for her win.
Aria McCart won the nationwide competition earlier this month.
She got her finger trapped in a door and was rushed to the hospital where she required emergency surgery. "She is doing better and at home now, resting in bed for another week. However, she is going to miss Halloween this year as she is not allowed out in the cold at the risk of her blood flow being affected so she is a bit upset about that but we will organise something fun for her at home."
Aria and Kyro performed jive, which was a completely new style for both dancers but they received a perfect score of 10 from each judge and a standing ovation.Amyleigh said: "Aria has known Kyro her whole life and danced with him before, they are just the best of friends and are a little comical double act.
