Strictly Dance Fever winner Hollie Robertson was left with a broken nose and black eyes after being attacked on holiday.

The 20-year-old's break in Portugal turned into a nightmare after she needed surgery to re-align her nose following the attack.

“It was the most frightening experience of my life," she told The Sun. "I couldn’t believe it. I went into shock. There was blood spurting from my nose.”

The former gymnast was awarded £50,000 and a part in a West End show when she won the BBC series earlier this year.
