'Strictly' stars suffer from stomach bugs

Letitia Dean

The remaining Strictly Come Dancing contestants have been struck by stomach bugs as they prepare for tonight's show.

Former EastEnders actress Letitia Dean needed a bucket on standby during last week's episodes because she felt so ill. Now every finalist apart from Alesha Dixon has been suffering from the same illness.

An insider told The Sun: "Tish was so ill and now everyone else is feeling the pain. They're all worried about being sick tonight so it'll be buckets on standby."

The contestants will battle for a place in the semi-final on tonight's show.
