As she practised ahead of the first male-female head-to-head his Saturday, Jodie was forced to stop mid-routine to tend to her aching feet.

The 6 ft 1 model has been partnered with Latin American champion Ian Waite for the current series of Strictly.

She managed to stay on the show last month after taking part in a dance off with Gillian Taylforth and her partner Anton Du Beke, but she was saved by the judges after performing her foxtrot.

The judges were surprised with Jodie's dance skills, admitting they thought her height would hamper her movement.

Arlene Phillips said: 'You sure are elegant!'

Fellow judge Len Wiseman added: 'I tell you, tall girls can dance! I was expecting awkward, but no.'

Speaking before her performance, Jodie said: 'I really hope I can go out there and prove tall ladies can dance just as good as small ones.'
