Almost one million Strictly Come Dancing fans will injure themselves trying to replicate the moves they see on the hit BBC show, it has been revealed. Experts say that as many as 44 percent of the nine million fans will try their hand at ballroom dancing after watching the likes of Laila Rouass and Ricky Whittle. But 25 percent of the would-be dancers will end up injured trying to replicate lifts and spins - that's 990,000 people left Strictly Come Hobbling. Experts from MBT claim most of the injuries are caused by the poor fitness and physiques of the couch-potatoes turned dancers who regularly hurt their feet and ankles or backs. Others just find their partner watching Strictly Come Dancing every Saturday night a real pain in the neck. Joshua Wies, a chartered physiotherapist and director of the MBT Academy said: "One can’t deny that Strictly has had a good impact on getting Brits off the sofa and into exercise. "But people must concentrate on improving their general fitness before rushing too quickly into a dance studio, as the potential for injury may simply negate all the potential benefits of the sport”.
