Oh dear!
Author: Alex RossPublished 2nd Nov 2018
As well as all of the drama about the infamous 'Strictly Curse', this year's Strictly Come Dancing has had its fair share of injuries! Not only did Danny John-Jules collapse in training, Stacey Dooley was left hospitalised and now it's been revealed that TWO of the professional dancers were left injured after colliding in training.
As Danny and his dance partner Amy Dowden appeared on Strictly: It Takes Two earlier in the week, show host Zoe Ball revealed that Amy had been involved in an accident along with her fellow pro Gorka Márquez, whilst in training.
Speaking on the show, Amy said, "In the pro rehearsals, unfortunately Gorka and I collided. It was just an accident that happened. My heel went right into the top of Gorka's foot, and Gorka was left with a nasty bruise too!"
OUCH! 😱
