Amanda Holden reveals she almost fell victim to Strictly curse – after ‘weird’ moment with Pasha Kovalev

AMANDA HOLDEN felt the passion with ex-Strictly pro Pasha Kovalev as they danced together in her documentary series Sex: A Bonkers History.

They performed Tudor dance The Volta – deemed scandalous at the time as it allowed unmarried folk to touch on the dance floor.

But after shrugging off the sensual dance as the “16th century answer to twerking”, Amanda got hot under the collar.

She said: “You weren’t even allowed to hold hands and then being allowed to be that intimate, it was weird having that moment with Pasha.

“I felt the feeling just in that afternoon, so I can’t imagine how people felt touching like that centuries ago.”

“But Pasha, he was so patient.

“It really took me ages to learn that step, hop and kick.”

The series, on Sky History, starts on September 18 at 9pm.
