Rushworth nearly missed first 'Superstar'

Verity Rushworth was almost forced to pull out of the first Soapstar Superstar live show last night.

The Emmerdale actress had to see a dentist after suffering from severe toothache, leaving producers fearing that she would not be able to perform.

"She was in agony and couldn't sleep," an insider told The Sun. "We thought she may have to pull out."
