Jaime Winstone to miss tonight’s episode

Actor Jaime Winstone is set to miss this weekend’s shows after tearing an abdominal muscle.

The BBC announced the news on Wednesday (4 November), sharing that doctors have advised the actor to rest this week.

“In line with the rules of the show, Jaime and Carlos will receive a bye through to next week when it is hoped they will be able to dance again. We wish Jaime the very best as she continues her recovery,” a spokesperson said.

I studied medicine at Trinity College, Oxford, and qualified as a doctor. There are already many excellent blogs exploring faith, humanism, atheism, politics, rationalism, philosophical doubt and everything in between. But I don't intend to limit myself to any particular subject. This is simply a space where I'll share whatever comes to mind, whether it's something I've been thinking about for years or just a passing thought from the day.
