Strictly: Catherine Tyldesley bans her husband from dancing with her

Tom's been rather enthusiastic…

Former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley has revealed that she has “banned” her husband Tom Pitford from dancing with her.

The star, who is currently shining in the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom, revealed that a practise session at home almost ended in a pretty serious injury.

Catherine, who is partnered with Strictly professional Johannes Radebe, said Tom joined her in the garden for a cheeky little rumba that sounded like it almost ended in a trip to hospital.

She said: “He’s desperate to give it a go. He got a bit ambitious and then tried to spin me like he has been dancing in competitions for decades and almost pulled my arm out of its socket.”

She added: “I was in absolute agony and told him I’d never live down the embarrassment if I was ruled out of Strictly by my own husband’s dodgy dance moves.”

We hope Catherine hasn’t banned Tom from the show’s audience, too.

This week, she dances the cha cha cha to Steps song Scared Of The Dark as part of the show’s Halloween week.
