‘If I laugh too much, he might pay the price’: Strictly’s Caroline Quentin admits she worries that she could wee on Johannas Radebe during training
Caroline Quentin has admitted she sometimes worries she will accidentally wee on Johannes Radebe during training for Strictly Come Dancing.
The actress, 60, is partnered with the professional dancer on this year’s show and the pair regularly make each other laugh during rehearsals as they share a similar sense of humour.
Speaking to Heat magazine, Caroline said: ‘What he doesn’t know is that, at my age, I have quite a weak bladder. If I laugh too much, he might pay the price, put it that way!’

The Men Behaving Badly star added that the pair are ‘equally mad’ and she worries Johannas might end up dropping her if they laugh too much.
She said: ‘You know when you laugh a lot and you go physically quite weak?
‘What I mustn’t do is make him laugh before he’s about to lift me, because I don’t want him to drop me!’
After her performance on last Saturday’s show, Caroline became overcome with emotion and told how she had rediscovered her passion for dance after revealing she had been forced to give up ballet as a child due to family problems.

It comes after Caroline shared a hilarious glimpse at her gruelling training regime, as she pleaded for it to ‘stop’ in a playful Instagram video on Wednesday.
The actress shared the amusing video after another difficult day practising the dance, while Johannes also shared a snap of his exhausted celebrity partner joking he’s ‘killed her.’
Johannes also shared a snap of Caroline collapsed into a chair after yet more training for the Paso Doble, along with the cheeky caption: ‘I think I’ve killed @quentyquestions.’
Her debut performances earned hugely positive comments from viewers and the judging panel, as she danced an elegant American Smooth which left her in tears.

Scoring the duo 21 points out of 30, judge Motsi Mabuse began ‘I didn’t see a dancer I saw a dancing queen’, though she recommended Caroline pay ‘attention to detail’.
She then gushed: ‘Oh my goodness, I want to say thank you to you it was really beautiful.’
Craig, normally quite stern, was delighted with the performance, as he said: ‘You just have to watch your feet aren’t too turned down, you need to be a lot more in line but musicality was sensational… elegant and graceful, I loved it.’
While Shirley went on: ‘I think you’re going to bring so much joy to millions of people, I’ve waited a lifetime for this where you feel what a dancer is feeling.
‘You are elegant you are charming… lower half needs a little bit of work but you should be so proud today you are exquisite.’
