Anastacia reportedly had a 'complete meltdown' during Strictly this weekend

‘I’m Outta Love’ singer Anastacia was in the bottom two in this weekend’s show

She had to change her salsa routine after tearing scar tissue caused by a mastectomy for breast cancer (which she has survived twice).

According to The Mirror, Anastacia broke down in tears backstage, delayed filming by 30 minutes, and clashed with dance partner Brendan Cole.

"Brendan looked really annoyed and the body language between him and Anastacia was very frosty," an audience member said after the pair came back and filming resumed. "A female producer went up to talk to him but he wouldn’t even talk. He was fuming. Anton du Beke had to console him."

Ultimately it was decided that no dance off should happen due to Anastacia’s injuries. Melvin Odom was sent home instead, making it the first time in Strictly’s twelve year history someone got sent home without a dance off.

Responses to the decision were mixed, with some applauding the decision while others expressed their disappointment:
