As a camera recorded the back of one of the studio cameras, Kevin Clifton and Amy Dowden could be seen, before Katya and Neil came into shot.

As Katya flung herself backwards into Neil's arms, she accidentally headbutted him right in the face.

Neil automatically recoiled in pain and dropped his wife on the floor as their fellow pros looked round in shock.

The 35-year-old staggered off holding his nose, but he reassured fans in the caption of the video that it wasn't as bad as it looked.

Strictly's Neil and Katya finally reunite in the ballroom after Seann kiss

He wrote: "I'm asked all the time if we ever get hurt during rehearsals...here is your answer but don't worry I'm ok, nothing was broken and @mrs_katjones put ice on it straight away."

The married couple failed to dance together for a number of weeks earlier in the series after Katya, 29, was pictured snogging her celebrity partner Seann Walsh.

However they reunited later in the series, dancing together again during the Blackpool Special.

The accident came as it was revealed Katya's partner Seann, 33, had been banned from joining the Strictly Tour.

A show insider told The Sun: “The Strictly tour is a really wholesome, family-friendly event.

“It’s all about good, clean fun and we don’t think that a man who snogs married women in the street fits that image.”

It is the first time a celebrity has not been invited to take part in the tour.
