STRICTLY Come Dancing’s first ever winner Natasha Kaplinsky has revealed she was rushed to hospital after being bitten by her dog.
The ITV newsreader, 49, told how she recently got caught in a dog fight between her Coton de Tulear and another Tibetan Terrier.
Natasha said she tried to separate her two pooches, Dot and Molly, when she was horribly bitten, Great British Life reports.
Natasha, who lives in Sussex with 47 animals, said: “Dot is in my bad books.
“She was supposed to be this lovely little lap tap and she’s turned out to be the fiercest.
“Recently I tried to separate her from Molly, fighting over a bone, and she bit me. I ended up in hospital.”
Thankfully, it seems Natasha is safe and well after the hospital dash.
She added she “couldn’t be without my dogs”, adding they make life “a bit chaotic” but insisted it’s “never boring” with them in it.
And the outdoorsy animal lover said her perfect day “starts with wellies and ends in stilettos”.
The respected journalist starred on the very first series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004, partnered with professional Brendan Cole.
The pairing went all the way to win the glitter ball trophy, beating Christopher Parker and Hanna Karttunen to clinch the title.
She now lives with husband Justin Bower in Sussex, where they decided the countryside would make the perfect space to raise all their pups.
