Kaye Adams has shared details of her first Strictly Come Dancing ‘injury’ with fans, as rehearsals for the BBC ballroom show get underway.
The Loose Women talk show host took to her Instagram page to upload a snap showing the palm of her hand looking red and sore.
The 59-year-old wrote: “First Strictly injury,” before telling her followers it was caused by “overenthusiastic clapping!”
The ITV presenter has also previously admitted how Strictly Come Dancing's intense rehearsal schedule for 2022 has played havoc with her sleep.
She took to Twitter to write: “Struggled to sleep last night after the first day of Strictly rehearsals. Tried to count sheep but couldn't get past 5, 6, 7, 8.”
Last month the complete line-up was officially announced with Kym Marsh, Will Mellor and Helen Skelton all set to take part, as well as James Bye and Tony Adams.
Joining them are Hamza Yassin, Fleur East, Molly Rainford, Ellie Taylor and Matt Goss. Also on the bill are Tyler West, Ellie Simmonds, Jayde Adams and Richie Anderson.
Strictly officially has a start date as it is set to hit screens on Saturday, September 17, pro dancer Johannes Radebe.
It follows the news that a pre-recorded launch show would be filmed on Wednesday, September 7, as the celebrities are paired up with their professional dance partners.
This comes after news Strictly Come Dancing is set to shake-up a major element of the BBC ballroom dancing show this year to celebrate 100 years of the broadcaster.
The celebrity dance show typically follows a week by week dance format as the couples are whittled down and the finale creeps closer, but there is a new themed week being added to the proceedings this autumn.
Alongside the likes of Halloween, Blackpool and Musicals Week there will be a round of dances dedicated to the BBC, which will see this year's celebs sashay to theme tunes from the Beeb’s most famous shows.
There will also be two BBC-themed professional routines starring Strictly Come Dancing's professional dancers, one of which will be dedicated to the broadcaster's natural history shows while another will see pro dancers "crashing" its flagship programmes.
Strictly executive producer Sarah James said: “We know how much viewers love the Strictly themed weeks so it’s fantastic to be able to announce a new one, celebrating the BBC’s centenary.
"It’s the icing on the cake to be able to confirm that we are returning to the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom this year, we can’t wait to get back to Blackpool!”
