Amanda Holden may not have taken part in Strictly Come Dancing, but she has somehow managed to nearly fall victim to the curse – impressive!
While recording her new documentary series Sex: A Bonkers History, the 52-year-old learned some new dance moves from former professional dancer Pasha Kovalev.
The Strictly champ and Amanda performed The Volta together – a Tudor dance, which was once scandalous as it allowed married people to touch other people on the dance floor.
After Amanda got to grips with the moves, she reflected on her experience with Pasha, 43, who is married to Rachel Riley, 37, and explained that she understood how dance can lead to getting feelings.
‘You weren’t even allowed to hold hands and then being allowed to be that intimate, it was weird having that moment with Pasha,’ Amanda, who is married to record producer Chris Hughes, admitted.
‘I felt the feeling just in that afternoon, so I can’t imagine how people felt touching like that centuries ago.’

She then went on to praise Pasha for being a good teacher, in clips obtained by The Sun.
‘But Pasha, he was so patient. It really took me ages to learn that step, hop and kick.’
For the upcoming Sky History series, Amanda has also stripped off to teach us all about sex – you can’t say she does things by halves!

In a teaser clip, she rested in a bathtub while delivering a history lesson on the Egyptian queen.
‘Every sexual relationship was about gaining a strategic advance because, underneath that full face of makeup, which was actually made of crocodile dung, she was an intellectual heavyweight,’ she explained.

While casually leaning over the bathtub Amanda continued: ‘On the whole, history has been written by men so sorry Cleopatra, despite all your accomplishments, your savvy political manoeuvering, and incredible intellect you’ll forever be remembered as the woman who bonked her way to the top.’
To celebrate the show’s upcoming release, which will be co-hosted with historian Dan Jones, Amanda also dressed up as an angel – a look that is favoured by the Victoria’s Secret models.
Sex: A Bonkers History on Sky History, starts on September 18 at 9pm.
