Jaime Winstone has confirmed that she intends to return to the dancefloor on Saturday (14 November).
The actress was forced to sit out on week seven of the hit BBC dancing competition after tearing an abdominal muscle during rehearsals and taking medical advice to rest.
But on Tuesday (10 November), Winstone shared a video to Instagram announcing that she and dance partner Carlos Gu intend to join the line-up for week eight on Saturday.
"Hey guys! We are back," Winstone shared in the video, "It's been a hard week and it's been very frustrating not being able to dance and join everyone else in the ballroom. I wanted to let you know that we are intending to dance."
She added: "We have been given the all-clear under certain rules by the doctors. We've just done our wonderful Charleston with amazing choreographers and Carlos."

In the caption, Winstone added that she and Carlos were "so happy to be back in the rehearsal room", and thanked fans "for the most amazing show of love and support during this scary unknowing time".
Explaining that she would be absent for week seven, Winstone previously said in a statement: "I am absolutely devastated not to be dancing this weekend due to a torn abdominal muscle."
She added: "I am in considerable pain, and my doctors have advised complete rest to give my body the best possible chance to heal. As frustrating as it is, I have to put my health first and follow their advice to step away from dancing this week."
During week seven's show, Strictly Come Dancing's Emma Willis and Josh Widdecombe also had a few words to share on Winstone s absence, with Widdecombe telling cameras: "Unfortunately, we are missing one couple, Jaime and Carlos. Jaime has been advised not to perform this weekend on medical grounds."
However, he assured fans that she could still make a comeback, adding: "Under the rules of the competition, she receives a bye through to next week."
Willis then said: "Now Jaime, we know that you are watching from home tonight. We miss you so much, and we are sending you all of our love, and we hope you get better soon."
