Dani Dyer was 'really nervous' about getting injured again when she returned to Strictly Come Dancing

Dani Dyer was "really nervous" about getting injured again when she returned to Strictly Come Dancing.

The former Love Island winner signed up for the show last year but had to pull out after fracturing her ankle during rehearsals before the programme even started, so she was apprehensive about stepping back onto the dancefloor again, but she knows she's doing everything she can to look after her body.

She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “I’m not really thinking about it as much now.

“In week one, I was really ­nervous, but we are doing exercises, using the strap and I have a Game Ready ice machine at home that Jarrod [Bowen, husband] bought me.”

As well as buying Dani a cold compression therapy device, footballer Jarrod has been urging his wife to keep up with physiotherapy sessions.

She added: “Jarrod loves the physio - he always says it is so important to do it. I had my physio and massage today. It is the best, having unlimited massages whenever you want. It is a proper treat.”
