Victoria Pendleton rubbishes Strictly Come Dancing 'tears' claim
Sep 28th 2012, 20:08

Victoria Pendleton has rubbished claims her Strictly Come Dancing partner Brendan Cole reduced her to tears during training.

The Olympic cycling gold medallist was reported to have struggled with the punishing routine imposed by famously hard taskmaster Cole during the build-up to the first show of the series.

It was suggested Pendleton had broken down in tears on a number of occasions, but that came as news to her.

She tweeted: 'Just read a totally ridiculous article claiming @TheBrendan_Cole is pushing me to my limit and making me cry!#couldnotbefurtherfromthetruth.'

Cole is notorious for working his celebrity dance partners hard, as he is desperate to record a second Strictly victory, following his success with Natasha Kaplinsky in season one.

A source told the Daily Mail: 'Brendan has been pushing Victoria to the limit. Her body is in a delicate condition so soon after the Olympics. She has not been able to help crying at least twice.

'Their rivals are aware of what's going on and are trying to support her.'

Pendleton has now denied the story, although the cyclist previously admitted she had found the training tough on her feet as she was not used to wearing high heels.
