Zoe Ball is worried that her Strictly Come Dancing performance will not be up to par this week.

The presenter is distraught after the boiler in her London home burst, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage. As she has been busy trying to clear up the mess and organising repairs, Zoe has only spent one afternoon training for tonight's live show.

"I've been very tearful all week and it's got nothing to do with my dancing," she told the Daily Star. "The boiler at my house exploded and made a real mess. It caused ceilings to collapse. Damage is horrendous so I haven't had time to train. We've managed just one afternoon of training all week."

Her dancing partner Ian Waite added, "Zoe's had a lot on her mind this week."
