Paralympian Jody Cundy has said "fears" he might have to pull out of Strictly Come Dancing, following a trip to the hospital during movie week, have "gone".Whilst he was learning the Viennese waltz for the BBC One show, the athlete took a trip to the hospital after his leg got infected, which he said was to do with sweat build-up between his limb and prosthetic leg.After his performance on October 7, Cundy received an overall score of 20 from the judges and placed bottom of the leader board with professional dance partner Jowita Przystal, who won the Glitterball Trophy in 2022 with wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin.Speaking about whether he fears he might have to pull out of the show if the trouble with his leg continues, Cundy said: "When it was bad, and I couldn't put my leg on, there was worries that I probably wouldn't be able to dance or whatever, and wasn't really sure where we went from there."But thankfully, I managed to put my leg back on the Friday (October 6) morning.

And all of those fears have kind of gone now. So it's back to doing the hard work and learning to dance."Discussing how his leg is doing now, he said: "All good actually.

I'm back on two feet again, so that's always a positive. I've been on two feet all week. So we're just making sure that we look after my leg a little bit more now."I think the back-to-back training, sort of three weeks in, I think did damage to it - but I was wearing my leg in a way that I've never really worn it before."So it just getting hot and sweaty and staying hot and sweaty all day.

It's a silicone liner so it basically doesn't breathe, so if I spend seven hours training on it, the sweat just kind of festers in there."We just have breaks now, we clean it up and make sure
