Joanne Cliffton, a former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, has offered her opinion on Robert Webb’s departure from the show, claiming that his planned quickstep performance would have placed too much strain on his heart.

After obtaining medical advice, the Peep Program star recently announced that he would no longer be appearing on the show. 

Before his departure with professional partner Dianne Buswell, he was scheduled to do a quickstep performance on Saturday’s program.

Kevin Cliffton’s sister Joanne, who competed on Strictly from 2014 to 2016, believes the dance is one of the most difficult, and she understands his desire to quit the show.

On The Kevin Clifton Show podcast, she stated, “It’s a huge, enormous shame about Robert Webb.”

‘At the end of the day, he and his physicians have agreed that it is best for him not to do it, particularly because he has cardiac issues.’ ‘No, you shouldn’t do it.’

‘And Strictly is difficult,’ the 37-year-old said. People don’t realize that, apart from the 11 or 12 hours of practices each day, the adrenaline from the performance itself will raise your heart rate.

‘Also, that isn’t the only time we execute it. On Friday, we have a lot of performances and preparations for it. On Saturday, we have rehearsals, a dress rehearsal, and finally the performance. He danced in quickstep. You have a lot on your mind. Your heart rate will continue to rise and rise. As a result, I completely understand.’

‘It’s a good thing he’s pulled out if he was having any symptoms or whatever,’ she said. However, it’s a huge pity. Because he was doing very well.’

Robert isn’t the only competitor who will be absent on Saturday; former England rugby star Ugo Monye will also be absent due to health concerns.

‘I’m very sad to have to announce that I’m withdrawing from Strictly Come Dancing owing to poor health,’ Robert said in a statement about quitting the show.

‘I underwent open heart surgery two years ago, and although I thought I was healthy enough to take on Strictly and its rigorous schedule, it soon became apparent that I had taken on much more than I could handle at this point in my rehabilitation.’

‘I had started to have symptoms that prompted me to seek an urgent appointment with my heart doctor, and she advised me to take a break from the program for the sake of my health.’

Tonight at 7.10 p.m. on One, Strictly Come Dancing resumes.
