Emma Barton reveals bizarre Strictly Come Dancing injury ahead of final
The EastEnders actress hurt herself in the week she performed the Charleston.
Emma Barton has revealed she was blighted by an unusual injury while taking part in Strictly Come Dancing.
The EastEnders actress, who will compete against CBBC star Karim Zeroual and Emmerdale’s Kelvin Fletcher in Saturday night’s final, said she pulled a muscle in her bottom.
She said: “It’s quite funny actually, the Charleston – we did it week 11 and it’s fast, high intensity.
“We smashed it all through the week and then, on the Friday morning, when we got to the studio we had to do a bit of social media and I pulled a muscle in my bottom, just standing. How do you do that?
“It was the right (cheek) and I did panic.”
She revealed she “strapped up” the injured area, saying: “It had several large plasters on it, it worked because I got through it.”
