manchestereveningnews.co.ukJamie Borthwick has said his Strictly Come Dancing training is taking a "toll" on his body as he also hit back at comments over his dance experience.
The EastEnders star, 30, has been showing off his dance moves for seven weeks alongside his pro dancer partner Michelle Tsiakkas, 29, but the high scores do not come without some aching muscles.
