Amy Dowden made a cheeky quip about James Bye’s ‘dad dancing’

The EastEnders actor is gearing up for his third live performance on Saturday

Taking to Instagram, James teased: “Hello everyone, so this week if you haven’t seen, Amy and I are dancing to Guardians of the Galaxy, the movie, which is an honour for me as my boys absolutely love the film.

“Amy in our choreography has really tried to bring elements and scenes from the movie into our choreography.

“If you know the film, he loves his sort of dad dancing, the sort of shapes he’s chucking around.”

Referring his dad dancing, Amy joked: “You’re good at that aren’t you.,” to which James replied: “Yes…I sort of do that now really.”

It comes after James revealed he suffered from a painful injury whilst in Strictly training.

The soap star was appearing on It Takes Two where he told host Rylan that while trying to impress his dance partner Amy with his fitness skills, he caused great damage to his ring finger.

The couple were discussing the preparations for their upcoming dance routine for this Saturday’s show where Martin Fowler actor will be taking on the role of Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy and told Rylan how he was aiming to show off his strength during the challenging number. 

But as James showed off to Amy he admitted he took things a little too far and admitted he was left with his finger almost hanging off. 

He said: “I was trying to show Amy how strong I was in the rehearsal room so i did a few pull-ups…”

Amy’s giggles could be heard over the top of James as he began to lift his hand up into view as he continued his story. 

The actor added: “I like ripped my finger open.”

Audible gasps could be heard from the production crew in the background of the studio as Rylan expressed his shock.

The TV presenter appeared to be unable to fathom what James had just said as he repeated: “The finger almost fell off.”

James could be seen sporting a bloody bandage on his ring finger as he divulged: “The wedding ring is sort of the only thing keeping my finger on.”

It comes after dad-of-three James – who wed wife Victoria in 2012 – said they will not be affected by the so-called “curse”.
