Strictly’s Kelvin Fletcher taking travel sickness pills to avoid throwing up during the Viennese Waltz spins
STRICTLY star Kelvin Fletcher has been taking travel sickness pills to avoid throwing up during his Viennese Waltz spins.
The former Emmerdale actor, 35, is using medication to stop feeling squeamish on the dance floor after he vomited in rehearsals.
“I was sick for the first time on Monday,” he told the .
“That has always been my biggest fear with anything ballroom.
"The spins, they look so stunning but I fear them because the minute I start spinning my head goes and on Monday I was in the toilet and it wasn’t pretty.”
Kelvin is favourite to win Strictly after finishing top of the table on the first show.
He's partnered up with Oti Mabuse after former contestant Jamie Laing crashed out with an injury.
This week Kelvin will dance the Viennese Waltz to Say Something by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera.
The hunky actor stripped to a loincloth at the weekend to play a caveman in the Halloween special's opening dance.
Viewers swooned over the ex-Emmerdale star after he leapt off a rock in the skimpy material in the epic group routine.
Kelvin, who has a 10-month son, Milo with wife Liz, has set pulses racing throughout the series.
Even Head judge Shirley Ballas has often gushed over the actor's swivelling hips.
"I've never seen a man rumba like that," she screamed.
Kelvin and Oti made history in week three when their dance got two tens from the judges.
In between intense training, Kelvin rushes to get home to his wife and son who have been supporting him from the sidelines.
He praised his "wonder woman" wife after fans spotted his chemistry with pro dancer Oti Mabuse on the show.
Kelvin, 35, was spotted stroking Oti as they waited nervously to find out if they'd been saved from elimination.
But his reassuring rub had been interpreted as something more by fans, and now Kelvin has squashed any speculation with an adoring post on Instagram.
Paying tribute to wife and actress Liz Marsland as she held their baby son Milo, he captioned a photo of the stunning brunette: "Wonder Woman" alongside a heart emoji.
