Having suffered some – wait for it – cha-cha-chafing, Corrie’s Catherine Tyldesley was left in agony after her first few days of dance training.
But her as-yet-unconfirmed partner can’t be blamed.
The soap star accidentally smothered herself in Deep Heat and, um, suffered for her art – so much so, she put out a social media warning to ensure others don’t follow suit.
“I put deep heat on my thighs today,” she cautions. “Don’t do that. It migrates.
"Lets just say I was feeling very fresh. Very uncomfortable.”
This week, dance pros Gorka Marquez, who recently became a dad to a baby girl with partner Gemma Atkinson, and Graziano Di Prima have confirmed they will not have celebrity partners in the upcoming series.
The lineup includes telly star Anneka Rice, footballer Alex Scott, Made In Chelsea’s Jamie Laing, Olympic rower James Cracknell, sports presenter Mike Bushell, ex-footballer David James, DJ Dev Griffin and socialite Emma Weymouth.
