Katie Piper’s husband predicts she’ll crash out of Strictly Come Dancing because she’s got ‘two left feet’
KATIE Piper's husband doesn't think she'll win Strictly Come Dancing's glitterball trophy - because she's got "two left feet."
The builder admitted he's worried for his beloved wife and thinks she'll struggle with the basics in the BBC show.
Richard Sutton told the : “I’m worried.
“I’m not trained in tap or ballet or anything but I can dance.
“But she’s got two left feet. So I’m worried for her.”
And Katie, 34, confessed she's glad she has her handyman hubby and his twinkle toes to help her.
She added: “We’ve been practising in the kitchen!”
Richard has been with Katie since 2013, and he proposed to her back in December 2014, with the couple getting married the following November.
They have two daughters, Penelope, who was born in December, and Belle, four.
The TV presenter was confirmed as the first celebrity contestant to be appearing on Strictly Come Dancing 2018.
Katie, who has endured 40 face ops since her life-changing encounter with acid attacker Stefan Sylvestre, pulled out of a press day last week over fears he will find her.
But Strictly Come Dancing bosses have vowed to keep "terrified" Katie safe after learning her acid attacker will be freed from jail soon.
A TV source said: “A plan is being put in place to ensure he doesn’t get details of where she will be and what she is doing in relation to the show.
