Strictly Come Dancing's James Jordan was determined to carry on with last night's show, despite having his nose broken by wife Ola in rehearsals.
The professional dancer sustained the injury in rehearsals for a group dance which was to be performed as the show returned to the BBC.
Denise Van Outen and James Jordan before he broke his nose (PA).
Ola was very apologetic for inflicting the injury on her husband and took to Twitter to show her remorse.
'I'm so so sorry. I feel so bad,' she tweeted.
Medics saw to James' injury before he insisted on carrying on as his partner Denise Van Outen had missed her grandfather's funeral in order to make the rehearsals.
A spokeswoman for the show said that they decided that the show must go on as 'Denise really wants to dance in honour of her grandfather'.
The pair waltzed to With You I'm Born Again by Billy Preston and Syreeta and topped the leaderboard with 25 points.
Ironically the duo have previously posed for photos with Van Outen pretending to punch James in the face, but it was his wife and not his dancing partner who inflicted the injury.
James' injury is not the first of the series as Aliona Vilani was forced to leave the contest after breaking her ankle while rehearing with celebrity partner Johnny Ball.
