Strictly star injured during rehearsals

Don't worry - we think they'll live

Oh dear, Holby City star Joe McFadden has only gone and injured himself while practising his steps on SET! He was perfecting his moves with co-star Kaye Wragg who plays Essie in the medical drama, when disaster struck!

In a clip shown on SCD spin off  It Takes Two, a fully-scrubbed up Joe and Kaye were seen practising the swivel, when Joe yelped out in pain.

He appeared to have stubbed his toe on Kaye’s foot. Diddums.

It might not sound like a devastating injury, but back in the studio, Joe insisted: “That actually hurt!”

Presenter Zoe Ball then dropped the bombshell: “You’re not insured outside of work hours.”

Don’t worry, she was joking.

The good news is, while Joe appeared to be in quite a lot of pain, he seems fine now and is not in danger of missing Saturday night’s live show.

Joe and his partner Katya Jone will be dancing the Charleston to Alexander’s Ragtime Band by Ella Fitzgerald on Saturday.

Joe and Katya have been consistently racking up some high scores over the series, but Joe hit out at claims by Craig Revel-Horwood that scoring wasn’t consistent.

The couple were awarded a 10 for their Pas0 Doble last weekend, but judge Shirley Ballas.

Craig only awarded them a 7, something which Strictly fans weren’t too happy about.

The actor said of suggestions his score was too high: “I didn’t know that, that’s bad news.

“When Katya and I looked back at the tape, we saw there was room for improvement. We hadn’t expected a 10. Our minds were blown.”

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday night on BBC One.
