The TV personality, 29, said she "landed funny" in training on Friday, and had a fracture confirmed after a scan on Monday. "To say I'm heartbroken is the biggest understatement," she said in a statement. Dyer, who first found fame on Love Island, was paired with professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin on the launch show. "It's a very, very annoying, devastating thing that I'm going through right now," she said, adding that she was going to take some time off social media.
