ACTRESS Natalie Gumede came joint top of the leader board in last night’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Her Samba routine opened the show and won her a judge’s score of 35, the same as Abbey Clancy’s foxtrot.
The ex-Coronation Street actress is still undergoing treatment for her painful spinal injury, and her professional dance partner Artem Chigvintsev revealed he had fractured his nose during training.
After the routine, judge Darcey Bussell said: “Spain is your place, you have got to do more of that. Great performance."
