Ali Vows To Dance On

The Sun reported today that Ali Bastian is still suffering since injuring her foot during Charleston training, and that Laila & Anton are waiting in the wings to step back into the competition if she needs to pull out.

A source told the paper: "Ali is still in pain. Because she is training so hard she hasn't had time to recuperate, so one slight slip could force her out. If she pulls out there will not be enough for the semi-final so Laila is still training."

However, a spokesperson for Ali told the Maidenhead Advertiser this afternoon that everything will go ahead as planned: "Ali will be dancing this weekend, she has danced on two shows since her foot injury and the injury isn't getting worse."

Maybe it's just some dodgy journo trying to lengthen the odds on Ali to win to try and make some quick cash before Christmas...
