Rach and Vince put backs out

Rachel Stevens and Vincent Simone were banned from training by docs after their stellar performance on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday.

The pint-sized pair’s frisky foxtrot gained the series’ first perfect score. But it came at a price — they both put their backs out.

Medics ordered them to take two days’ rest, while physios and masseurs were drafted in to ease their painful joints.

Insiders told how the duo worked flat out in the run up to the show — with Rachel, 30, determined not to be in the bottom two again.

A source said: “She’s improved amazingly but her body is paying the price.”

Even queen of mean Arlene Phillips praised the pair as “close to perfect. Strictly something special”.

Rachel and Vincent, 29, have got the go-ahead to return to the studio today — but only with medics on stand-by.
