Ali Bastian admits rehearsing for Strictly Come Dancing is taking its toll on her body.

The actress is preparing for the first show in the series this weekend.

‘There isn't a part of my body that isn't aching,' she says.

‘We attempted a lift the other day and Brian Fortuna, my dance partner, dropped me so I'm black and blue.'

Ali, 26, admits she is looking a little worse for wear since the incident.

‘I look like I've been Thai boxing, not ballroom dancing,' she adds.

Ali will be competing against Hollyoaks co-star Ricky Whittle.
