The People's Strictly for Comic Relief contestant Heather Parsons has said that she's suffered a black eye while training.
The 53-year-old charity worker, who is partnered with Ian Waite on the show, will dance live on BBC One on March 13.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Parsons explained that she tripped up and fell over during training. "Yes, I had a black eye that everyone thought Ian had given me!" she joked.
Waite added that during their six weeks of training for the Viennese Waltz, "we've had a lot of laughs and a lot of tears along the way - a lot of bruises as well."
Speaking about the possibility of winning, the Strictly professional dancer explained: "Heather felt as though she won when she got asked to do it.
"But it's just been an amazing experience and I think just to dance that out on the floor is like winning anyway.
