Lisa and Brendan 'dancing on painkillers'

Strictly Come Dancing semi-finalists Lisa Snowdon and Brendan Cole will reportedly take to the stage on painkillers tonight after picking up injuries during rehearsals.

Cole has a problem with his knees after a week of practising the Argentine Tango, while Snowdon has a bad back.

"Brendan is really fit and used to dancing all hours. However, Lisa has been kicking him in the knees on the Tango turns and he's in real pain. What's more Lisa's got a bad back and isn't sleeping because of her Capital FM breakfast show," a source told The Sun.

However, the mole added that Cole and Snowdon will give it their all tonight despite being "in a really bad way", saying: "After landing in the bottom two last week they are determined to pull off a perfect performance and have spent ages practising."
