Katya Jones has received a number of injuries during training with her Strictly Come Dancing partner Seann Walsh.

Seann admitted he felt so guilty that he burst into tears after dropping the professional dancer during rehearsals.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Seann said: “The list of injuries I’ve given Katya is long.

“I dropped her on her back and she lost two nails, and felt so bad I was genuinely in tears.

“I’d already knocked into her during a mistake in a dance, and she stabbed herself in the forehead with one of her nails.

“Then, during the dress rehearsal last Saturday, I accidentally chucked her into the stairs next to the judges’ desk.”

However, Katya – who won the show last year with Joe McFadden – has been getting her own back.

Seann said: “She keeps prodding me in my belly with a pen. I spoke to Joe McFadden to ask if Katya did the same to him, and he said she used to scratch him. So now she scratches me too.”

And he admitted he is terrified of disappointing Katya as he did last week during their jive.

He said: “I don’t know any other look, frankly. I messed up immediately. There was no point in which I was doing the dance properly.

“I got a step wrong and part of my brain was working out how to get back into the dance.

“But most of it was thinking, ‘Oh my God, Katya’s going to kill me. She’s so angry’.

“I thought I’d turn around at the end and say, ‘Oh my God, I’m so sorry,’ and she’d laugh it off. But that’s not what happened.”
