Loose Woman Kaye Adams was among the party who turned up ahead of the launch night.

She put on a brave fight even though she revealed she had already got an injury.

The Loose Women talk show anchor, 59, took to her Instagram page to upload a snap showing the palm of her hand looking red raw and sore.

Kaye wrote: "First @bbcstrictly injury," before telling her following it was caused: "From overenthusiastic clapping!"

The ITV anchor has also previously admitted how Strictly Come Dancing's intense rehearsal schedule for 2022 has played havoc with her sleep.

She took to Twitter to write: "Struggled to sleep last night after the first day of Strictly rehearsals.

"Tried to count sheep but couldn't get past 5, 6, 7, 8."

Proof things come in threes, Kaye was then told she was "nearly deaf in one ear" ahead of taking to the dancefloor.

The Sun exclusively reported how she had undergone a series of tests ahead of appearing on the hit BBC dance show and had been told she needs help.

She confirmed her “hearing is an issue” and that “I probably should be thinking about getting hearing aids”.

Kaye said the checks found one ear had a “poor level” of hearing and the other was trying to compensate.
