Delta Goodrem scores the season's first 10 with a Celine Dion rumba on her Strictly return from a fractured rib

The fractured rib nearly ended Delta Goodrem's Strictly run, because BBC rules let a contestant miss only one week before they must withdraw. The Australian singer, 41, sat out Icons Week and watched tearfully from home. Hours before her comeback she posted hospital clips filmed over two weeks of recovery. She has also revealed the injury cost her a meeting with Queen Camilla.

Goodrem joked that 'at the end of the night, the rib decided it had had enough.'

While she was out, partner Kai Widdrington danced 'Jolene' with fellow pro Amy Dowden instead.

Her message to fans: 'To all my warriors out there in your own battles, I see you.'
