Strictly's Tom injures shoulder in fall
 

Strictly Come Dancing star Tom Chambers could miss out on Saturday's live show after injuring himself in training.

The Holby City actor badly hurt his shoulder and arm on Monday after smashing into a wall during a difficult move, according to reports in the Daily Mirror.

As the pain worsened overnight, Tom was forced to consult a doctor on Tuesday.

A source said: "He was left in terrible pain and his first thought was that he had dislocated his shoulder.

"Tom just hopes that it gets better and he can compete in Saturday's show. To miss out would be gutting."

Tom's injury occurred as he and his professional partner Camilla Dallerup practised the quick step.

The source explained: "They were dancing really quickly when Camilla tripped on Tom's trousers. Camilla fell into the wall but Tom pushed himself in the way to stop her hurting herself and took the full impact.

"Camilla's so thankful that Tom broke her fall but she feels really sorry for him because he's really hurt himself."
