Nancy

The professional dancer, 32, was pictured in the backseat of a car as she headed home after her first performance with her partner Les Dennis, 69, to take it easy.

Nancy had changed into her casual clothes but was still wearing her glamorous performance makeup as she was seen typing on her phone.

After the routine, Nancy was seen wiping the blood from her ear as the duo were interviewed by Claudia Winkleman after their debut.

The choreographer was filmed wiping the injury while chatting to the presenter and handing her a tissue.

On the way home! Nancy

Oh no! After the routine, Nancy was seen wiping the blood from her ear as the duo were interviewed by Claudia Winkleman after their debut

Ouch! She was forced to shed blood live on the show after sustaining an injury mid-dance in week one’s episode

In a moment when the camera wasn’t on her, Nancy cleaned up as blood seemed to run down her chin and neck after her tango to The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me.”

The dancer did not comment on the injury as she listened to the judge’s feedback. She and Les finished at the bottom of the leaderboard with 16 points

Fans quickly noticed what was happening on the dance floor and took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their concerns.
