According to RadioTimes, Nancy’s injury was down to a very small cut from her earring.

Nancy did not comment on the injury as she was interviewed by Tess Daly and Claudia.

One concerned fan wrote online: “Hope Nancy is ok… @bbcstrictly that looks like an injury.”

Another asked: “What has happened to Nancy’s neck?”
