The fall is said to have happened during rehearsals for their performance to Aladdin's Friend Like Me. A Strictly source said Dev was "doubled over in panic" after what happened. They told The Sun:

“Dev let her slip from his grasp and Dianne fell and landed on her head. It couldn’t have been worse. It was horrible to watch Dianne lying prostrate on the floor. “Dev was desperate at what had happened. It was a total accident but he felt 100 per cent responsible. “He was praying that there was no serious damage — the worst case scenario was that she had some internal head injuries. “He was wringing his hands and just staring at the floor as Dianne was checked over.”

The Australian dancer was rushed to A&E. Doctors later diagnosed her with whiplash, and she was discharged from the hospital.
