'I've grown extra nipples!' Strictly's Rachel Riley suffers gruesome twin blisters
AS the twinkle-toed celebrities prance across the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom, their glitzy grins and snazzy sequins ooze glamour.
But beneath the spangly costumes lurk some gruesome injuries and seriously inflamed scabs.
And Rachel Riley has fallen victim to a case of twin blisters, with the painful irritation not for the squeamish or faint-hearted.
Kindly sharing the ghastly skin defect with fans on Twitter, Rachel's feet can be seen looking rather unsightly, and very sorry for themselves.
Wearing comfy grey slippers, the Countdown star shows off two bright pink sores on each heel.
My poor feet are suffering from American Smooth training, love it though
Perhaps what is even more repelling than the blisters themselves, is the wet look they have, as they are no doubt lathered in ointment.
Alongside the image, Rachel tweeted: "Looks like I've grown extra nipples!
"My poor feet are suffering from American Smooth training, love it though."
Last week, Rachel found herself in the bottom two alongside Julien Macdonald, but was saved as the fashion designer was sent packing.
And it seems the 27-year-old is super excited for this evening's theme.
She added: "Thanks for all the lovely messages ahead of tonight's Halloween Strictly special!
"Make-up & hair is INCREDIBLE, spooktacular looks all round!"
Tune in to Strictly Come Dancing tonight at 6.30pm on BBC1.
