POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — Ellie Taylor, host of the Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show It Takes Two, revealed she had to rush to the hospital just hours before her live broadcast on Monday, October 5.

Taylor, known for her role in Apple TV’s Ted Lasso and appearances on comedy shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats and The Mash Report, shared a photo of her injured hand, confirming it was not broken but rather strained. She humorously mentioned hoping the Strictly wardrobe team had a glue gun and rhinestones to make her bandage look glamorous.
