Rachel, Vincent 'banned from training'

BBC

Rachel Stevens and dance partner Vincent Simone were reportedly told to stop training by doctors after their perfect performance on Strictly Come Dancing.

The pair scored full marks for their Foxtrot on Saturday after a week of intensive training.

However, doctors have apparently said they must rest in order to ease painful back problems.

"[Rachel's] improved amazingly but her body is paying the price," a source told The Sun.

Stevens and Simone are back in the rehearsal studio today, with medics said to be on standby.

On this week's Strictly, each couple will perform two dances in an attempt to garner favour with the public and the judges.
