Catherine Tyldesley reveals Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals have made her feel sick

She's started rehearsing for her dancing debut on Strictly, but it's not exactly going as she'd hoped.

Catherine Tyldesley revealed that she's been feeling nauseous while training for Strictly Come Dancing with her professional partner Johannes Radebe.

Alongside a hilarious video shared by Cath on her Instagram she thanked  Johannes for putting up with her heaving.

"I love this patient man. Bless you for putting up with my heaving and SHOCKING memory," she wrote.

The former Coronation Street star from Walkden jokes about what proved to be a difficult day of training in the video.

"Do we want to talk about what's happened?" she asks before bursting out laughing.

"Look it's day two,"  Johannes reassures.

"I wasn't sick, I didn't vomit on you yet. I wretched," she says into the camera.

The mother-of-one then reassures that 'tomorrow is going to be a better day.'

Cath, 35, who played Eva Price in Corrie from 2011 to 2018, left the cobbles last year after being involved in a harrowing storyline which saw her ex Aidan Connor take his own life and the barmaid fight his family for custody of their baby Susie.

She told PA news agency that she wasn't allowed to take part in Strictly while she was in Corrie.

"I have spoken to (the show's producers) before but it felt like this was the right time," she said.

"It had to work for us as a family, and this is the right time.

"When you're in Corrie they're not going to let you, they won't let you do it. They'll only let you do ITV things like Dancing On Ice."

On Saturday night's launch show the Scarborough actress, who has joked that her dance style is 'Mr Bean', was thrilled to find out she was partnered with Johannes.

The main live shows will begin on Saturday 21 September.
