Celebrity withdraws from "Let's Dance" competition - Reality television personality withdraws from "Dance Challenge"
Leyla Lahouar, the 28-year-old dance star, is forced to pause her "Let's Dance" journey due to an unfortunate illness. The news of her absence in the first live show left her, and her dancing partner Sergiu Maruster, feeling down. According to her RTL video message, her doctor advised her to take a break from any physical activities due to a severe case of cough, sore throat, and excessive sweating.
The announcement was met with palpable disappointment on Leyla's face. "I genuinely feel bad, particularly for Sergiu," she shared, tears welling up in her eyes. "I've been crying for the past couple of days, feeling incredibly sad."
The first live show of "Let's Dance" was an anticipated event for Leyla, as she was excited about showcasing their rehearsed dance. "I was hopeful that it would turn out great," she admitted, "just like how much I enjoyed rehearsing."
With Leyla's temporary absence, only 13 dance pairs will grace the stage in the first "Let's Dance" show this coming Friday. But that doesn't mean we can't anticipate another pair's elimination. Tune into RTL at 8:15 PM, or stream it live on RTL+, to find out. Taliso Engel, the 22-year-old Paralympic swimmer, and his partner, Patricia Ionel, have already secured their spot in the second live show, winning the direct ticket.
Despite the lack of details regarding the nature of Leyla's illness in search results, it's clear that her dance career in "Let's Dance" continues to captivate audiences, even in the face of adversity.
Despite Leyla's illness causing her to miss the live streaming of "Let's Dance" on RTL+, her passion for dance is evident in the video message she shared, showcasing her RTL footage. Sadly, this meant she couldn't participate in the RTL dance, typically performed in the LTR (right-to-left) direction due to cultural traditions.
