“Hi, everyone. Just want to say thank you very much for all your support and well wishes while I was away last week. We’re back in the training room and, if all goes well – which it will – I’m going to be back on the floor with the lovely Dianne this Saturday. I’m looking forward to it,” he said.
Tonight saw him appear in the studio alongside Dianne Buswell.
“Stefan, welcome back!” Fleur East said, kicking off the interview. “It’s nice to have you here. We heard from you at the start of the week, but firstly, what happened last week, and how are you now?”

Revealing his health issue, Stefan said, “I had a little bit of a turn.
“I had a little bit of an episode with vertigo, but it was all okay. I made myself right again with the help of some good people at the hospital, but it’s all okay,” he then added.
Symptoms of vertigo include a spinning sensation, loss of balance, nausea, and vomiting. According to the NHS, it is more than just feeling dizzy.
Continuing, Stefan then said: “I’ve just got to say to everyone out there, thank you for all your lovely well wishes. And just for wanting me to be on the recovery and get back on the dance floor. Which I now am!”
“Yes, you are!” Dianne exclaimed. “So happy to hear!” Fleur then said, grinning.
‘Into the deep end’
Speaking about this week’s dance, a Charleston to Tones & I’s Dance Monkey, Stefan admitted that he felt like he’d been “thrown in the deep end” upon his return.
“It’s kind of like, ‘here you go Stef, you ok, BOOM! Into the deep end you go,” he joked.
“I thought I was a bit scared of the cha-cha!” he then said. “It’s a wee bit faster and a hell of a lot more technical than I thought.”
