Kaye's routines are testing her pelvic floor

Urinary continence is a common side-effect of menopause, as pelvic floor muscles weaken with age. This means it's common to experience urine leaks when you cough, laugh or sneeze – or when you move around energetically, as Kaye is doing during her Strictly training!
