Christine McGuinness has told of how trying to re-enact a famous Dirty Dancing scene landed her in hospital.
The model and her husband, Paddy McGuinness, were on holiday in Spain when they attempted their version of the famous lift by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in the 1987 film in a pool.
Recalling the incident in her new memoir A Beautiful Nightmare, Christine said: "I just wanted to be in Dirty Dancing and I bloody cut my chin open."

The mum-of-three explained: "He lifted me up and I sort of went over to go into the water and I cut my chin open at the bottom of the swimming pool.
"Then I had to go to the hospital and get stitches on the first day. After that I couldn’t go into the water or sunbathe."
The incident happened on one of the couple's very first holidays together.
Christine said that around that time Paddy's career was starting to soar as he landed a presenting job on Take Me Out.
As a result, Christine found that she became more reclusive and struggled to cope.
She said: "I was just at home alone and would do anything to avoid going out. It wasn’t that I didn’t get invited anywhere, I did, and occasionally I’d hang out with his cousin Lorraine, but I just couldn’t face walking out the door.
"In hindsight, I think I was depressed. His TV career went from strength to strength and I found myself feeling more and more isolated.
"I had zero friends, I was in a new town where I didn’t know anybody and his family and friends are a lot older than me, so I struggled to mix with them."
She added: "Patrick was riding his career wave and was probably buzzing because of how well things were going. He wasn’t really thinking about how I was coping at home.
"He was living his best life and enjoying himself. I’m pleased he did, but it’s very hard when you feel like you live a completely different life to your husband.
"I was still obsessed with Patrick and absolutely adored him. It was just when I was at home, I was extremely lonely."
