Strictly Come Dancing's Natalie Gumede will not compete on tonight's (November 9) show after fainting earlier today.
The former Coronation Street actress fainted twice during this afternoon's dress rehearsal and has been deemed unfit to take part, a spokesperson for the show confirmed.
After being checked by the BBC show's medical team on site she will have further medical checks as a precaution.
Gumede and professional partner Artem Chigvintsev will have a 'bye' to next week.
Earlier in the series, the star was almost forced to pull out of a live show after sustaining a back injury in rehearsals.
Last month, Chigvintsev broke his nose while preparing for a routine with Gumede.
Strictly Come Dancing airs tonight at 6.30pm on BBC One.
