JLS star Aston Merrygold came top of the leader board on last Saturday’s Strictly Come Dancing.
But it seems rehearsing for this week’s show has been a big challenge for Aston, as he accidentally caused his dance partner an injury.
During a lift in a salsa move, Aston dropped Janette Manrara on her head and she had to be checked over for any serious damage.

Luckily she was okay to carry on but Aston was left “mortified”.
A source told The Sun: “It was really nasty.
“Aston was lifting Janette but it went horribly wrong.
“It left her shaken and she had to be checked over by the team. Fortunately it looks like she’s fine, which is a big relief.
“But it’s a confidence knock for them.
“Aston was mortified. He couldn’t stop apologising.”
Despite the apparent danger of the move, the pair will keep the lift in their dance routine for this weekend’s show.
The source added: “Janette was very gracious and doesn’t want it to impact him.
“She still trusts him to get the lift right when it really counts on Saturday night.”
The source also revealed that that’s not the only thing that could go wrong on Saturday, but they have to challenge themselves to try and stay at the top of the leader board.
The source said: “They obviously feel under pressure to live up to their early success and that has led to them coming up with an incredibly ambitious routine.
“But it is dangerous and a lot can go wrong.
“Janette has told Aston she believes he can do it but it comes with a significant risk.

“He could very easily kick her in the head in another move they’re planning.
“But they are determined to finish top again.”
This Saturday we’ll see them perform the salsa to a remix of the famous smash-hit song Despacito.
