Davood Ghadami has been tipped as the winner of this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

But while viewers are thrilled by his skills on the dancefloor, they might be disappointed tonight as he's thought to be at risk of missing the live show tonight due to illness.

The EastEnders actor was forced to pull out of rehearsals this week and rest after getting dizzy spells and nausea.

A source told The Sun, "All the spinning of the Vienesse Waltz has left him with dizzy spells and sickness.

"He has been fine up until this point in the competition but this has knocked him for six.

"Producers hope he’ll be OK for the big show."

The actor wowed the judges last week with his Samba, performed with dance partner Nadiya Bychkova to the Bee Gees' hit Stayin' Alive.

After the steamy Samba routine, Bruce Toniolo caused a stir when he commented, "That was like a race to the bedroom!"

Bruce later came under fire for the remark as both Davood and Nadiya are in relationships, and Strictly pro Brendan Cole branded what he said "inappropriate".

"If it was said about two single people, like Mollie and AJ, then maybe it would have been okay," he said on Good Morning Britain.

"Strictly’s also a family show. Imagine your kid asking you what ‘race to the bedroom’ means?"

Meanwhile there's been even more drama amongst the panel, with rumours rife that Darcey Bussell is set to quit the show due to the tension between her and co-judge Shirley Ballas.

The drama never stops on Strictly!
