Strictly's Judi Love tells Graziano she feels 'sick' as she struggles for breath

Strictly Come Dancing's Judi Love was left feeling sick and struggling for breath during rehearsals on Thursday afternoon.

The Loose Women star did not look impressed following a day of practicing her latest routine with professional dancer Graziano Di Prima.

In a video shared on Graziano's Instagram Story, he is seeing asking Judi: "What's happened?" as she appears out of breath beside him.

"I feel sick," she replies, as the Italian Stallion tells her: "You can do this and you got this, you got this my queen," before giggling.

Another video shared on Judi's Instagram Story showed her ordering a hot drink with caramel as Graziano shook his head at her.

"But it's sugar free," she told him as he replied: "But it's show day the day after tomorrow," as Judi continued pleading with him.

Graziano eventually gave in and said: "Just for this time," as Judi screamed: "Awwwwwwww he's so sweet."

The pair appear to be getting on like a house on fire as they rehearse for Strictly Come Dancing week two, where they'll perform the Samba to Sean Paul's Get Busy.

Earlier this week, Judi sat on the Loose Women panel where she discussed her Strictly journey so far.

Offering an update to co-stars Ruth Langsford, Penny Lancaster and Jane Moore, Judi revealed: “It’s overwhelming but it’s exciting. Nervous at the same time but I think, 10 days ago I couldn’t think of or do those steps.

"And somehow Graziano has managed to push me in a way I haven’t been pushed before."

She revealed that she was used to performing in front of a live audience when doing her stand-up comedy but the dancing on the Strictly dance floor is totally "out of her comfort zone".

Judi also discussed how taking part in the competition had impacted her weight.

“It’s been great,” she said. “I’ve lost five pounds already, okay maybe I’m pushing it, probably about 4lbs, but it’s been amazing, I’ve never experienced anything like this."

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 6:45am on BBC One.
