Speaking to The Sun, Casualty star Sunetra Sarka revealed she broke her toe in week two but soldiered on.
The 42-year-old - who plays Dr Zoe Hanna in the medical drama - explained: "I cracked a bone in my metatarsal in week two..
"In practice I stepped on Brendan's toe causing him to step on mine and I ended up with the same injury as David Beckham.
"My toe really did Bend It Like Beckham!"
She said everyone who looked at her toe said she needed to rest it but she strapped it up and carried on like a trooper.
“Every person who looked at it said ‘rest!’ but how could I?”
MARK WRIGHT RIDICULED FOR STRICTLY TEARS: "WHY IS HE ALWAYS CRYING?"
Sunetra had no idea that a bone had broken, and it was only when she was filming for Casualty that the extent of the injury was discovered.
She said: “I didn’t think it was that bad at first… I spoke to the medical advisor on set at Casualty, and he strapped it up for me.
“But then it got worse so I had an X-ray and they saw there was a crack.”
And, while the lovely Sunetra is sad to have been voted off Strictly, she's admitted she's happy to be able to give her foot a rest - and that bone time to heal!
Sunetra said: "I'm in a little bit of a bubble, I'm still on a high and people say I look so happy to be leaving. But I'm not happy to be voted off just proud I got to the stage I did.
"And it's nice that I don't have constantly check my emails to see where I'm dancing next."
