'Strictly' Austin exhausted by training

Austin Healey has revealed that the Strictly Come Dancing training regime has left him exhausted.

Healey and dance partner Erin Boag have been practising two routines for this weekend - a group dance and their own Cha Cha Cha.

"I would like a really long sleep, to be honest," the rugby player told Claudia Winkleman on spinoff It Takes Two.

Boag admitted that the hectic training schedule caused Healey to lose his temper this week.

"He was getting very tired. [The work] was getting to him. He just lost it by frustration. He was okay the next day," she said.

The pair claimed that their Cha Cha Cha is looking good after a slow start in rehearsals.

"We haven't trained that much this week. It's getting a little bit better," Healey said.

Boag added: "Hopefully we'll be okay. It is going to be extremely camp and gorgeous."
