Kristian Nairn Quits Strictly Come Dancing Before It Even Starts!

Game of Thrones actor Kristian Nairn has pulled out of this year's Strictly Come Dancing, just days after the line-up was announced, saying he's been struggling with "a high level of stress and a little bit of grief". Nairn, 49, is best known for playing Hodor – the guileless servant of House Stark - in HBO's fantasy drama. He told his Instagram followers that after the line-up announcement last week, his problems had "manifested physically" for the first time and had caused "a spike in my vitals as an area of concern". He added: "I'm gutted. I was really looking forward to taking part in this.
