Strictly Come Dancing star nearly 'rips off' finger in rehearsals 😲
Ouch!
This year's Strictly Come Dancing is in full swing with Movie Week fast approaching on Saturday 8th October. As the talent from this year's celebrities is of a very high standard, it's no surprise the likes of Fleur East, Molly Rainford, Tyler West and Will Mellor are working incredibly hard in training.
But it sounds like one celeb went a little too far in training this week, as EastEnders actor James Bye has confirmed he very nearly ripped his finger off!
Speaking to Rylan Clark on It Takes Two, James confirmed he's dancing a Cha Cha Cha to 'Hooked On A Feeling' from hit movie Guardians of the Galaxy, and in the process of trying to get into 'superhero mode', he ripped his finger open.
He said: "So, he's like a superhero. We're gonna go for it. We're gonna make him strong.
"I was trying to show Amy how strong I was in the rehearsal room by doing pull-ups on a girder, and I like, ripped my finger open – the wedding ring sort of only keeping my finger on at the moment, so we'll see how we get on with that one!"

James and Amy then performed a Tango to Ed Sheeran's 'Bad Habits' last weekend, where he once again got a score of 22.
Speaking following Sunday night's results show, where Loose Women star Kaye Adams lost her place, James said on Instagram: 'Thank you all again! Amy and I are SO happy to still be in week 3! Absolutely loving the Strictly journey. Movie week here we come!
'All our love team James & Ames 😘😘'. (sic)
