Actor Jaime Winstone will not be performing in Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing, says the BBC.

Jaime has a torn abdominal muscle and has been told to rest by doctors.

A Strictly spokesperson said that Jaime and her professional partner Carlos Gu will automatically go through this week.

Jaime said she was "devastated" but said she had to put herself first.
