'Emmerdale' actress Laura Norton has sore knees from 'slut-dropping'.
The actress - who plays the character of Kerry Wyatt in the ITV soap - regularly has aching knees from performing the racy dance move because the writers of the show seem to constantly find excuses to include it.
Talking at the Inside Soap Awards, where she won the title of Funniest Female, she told BANG Showbiz: "I did a slut drop in the show about a year-and-a-half ago and ever since I did it, every time I open another script I have to do another slut drop!"
The pain in her joints has now got so bad the 31-year-old star thinks the only escape from her signature dance move will be a serious knee injury.
She continued: "My knees are really sore, I've absolutely done my right knee in now, so I'm going to have to try and do it really badly so they stop writing it in!"
Despite the pain, the Geordie lass has confirmed her love for dancing, and has teased upcoming 'Emmerdale' scenes where she's at it again, this time wearing a wedding dress.
She explained: "There's something coming up actually on Halloween where we've got us back in my wedding dress for fancy dress and I end up doing a few slut moves, slut drops."
"Although I'm moaning I'm always dancing or doing something."

Ben Miller believes female comedians are out performing their male counterparts.
The 48-year-old comedian-and-actor - who is one half of double act Armstrong and Miller - has praised the "amazing" women who are currently on the comedy circuit.
He said: "Well I think female comedians are leaving male comedians behind at the moment, there are so many amazing, amazing female comedians coming through.
"Every show that you look now there's another brilliant female stand-up. I think that's the big change that I have noticed since I started doing comedy."
Meanwhile, Ben credits women for changing stand-up comedy, making an impact on the industry and helping comedy to be more "detailed [and] emotional".
A survey conducted by Ticketmaster showed that sales for female comics had trebled since 2011.
Ben said: "In the 90s it would be like the black market 'Do you know any funny women?' and you would pass round names, and you would go and see somebody; there might have been a handful of women who were doing comedy but now many, many more and they are all so brilliant.
"I feel they've really moved joke-telling on. There is a change in stand-up comedy being less brash, more kind of thoughtful, more detailed, more emotional. The great insights that women have are now finding their way into comedy and I think it's a great thing, a great thing."

Frankie Bridge has suffered an ankle injury while training for 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 25-year-old pop star and mum-of-one hurt her left ankle practising moves on the dance floor alongside her professional partner Kevin Clifton.
The Saturdays singer revealed the news on her Instagram account, which featured a picture of Kevin, 31, applying ice to her ankle and with a caption reading: "Ouch!! My 1st Strictly injury."
The 'What About Us' star is among the favourites for this year's competition, but the light-hearted nature of Frankie's message would suggest her participation in this weekend's show is not under threat.
Frankie recently revealed she has to take motion-sickness tablets before her 'Strictly Come Dancing performances.
However, the brunette beauty claimed gruelling rehearsals have left her feeling fitter than ever.
She told OK! magazine: "When I'm spinning, I get really bad motion sickness so I'll have to take travel sickness tablets.
"Every part of my body aches but my body feels toned and I feel fitter than ever. With touring on top, this is the most exercise I've ever done so I'm eating what I want."
What's more, Frankie spoke of her excitement at the opportunity to change her appearance on the show.
Frankie - who is married to former England footballer Wayne Bridge - said: "I tried to be different and have long hair last year but it didn't really suit me.
"Everyone changes their hair each week on 'Strictly' but I can't, so the hair and make-up guys were like, 'Oh we have wigs.' I'm never going to get to wear wigs any other time so I might as well give them a go."

George Clooney asked an unknown singer to perform at his wedding.
The 'Monuments Men' actor and his new wife, human rights barrister, Amal Alamuddin, decided against asking a well known pop star to sing at their nuptials in Venice, Italy, on Saturday (27.09.14), preferring to shine the spotlight on the daughter of their family friend.
According to People magazine, Nora Sagal - the daughter of Warner Brothers executive David Sagal - performed during the couple's romantic Venetian ceremony and even serenaded them as they took to the dance floor for their first dance.
George shared: "[She] sang 'Always' during the ceremony."
She then sang a cover of the Cole Porter song, 'Why Shouldn't I?' for the first dance.
George and Amal also included a sentimental nod to the actor's parents, Nick and Nina, by starting the ceremony off with an Irving Berlin song, the same song his mother and father danced to at their own wedding.
The Hollywood hunk previously praised Nora as "insanely talented" after asking her to record 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' for the 'Monuments Men' soundtrack.
He said: "[Nora] is just an insanely talented singer. She recorded that song and we just used it."

Jennifer Love Hewitt thinks the key to her labour going smoothly was feeding her husband snacks.
The 'Criminal Minds' actress gave birth to daughter Autumn 10 months ago and says spouse Brian Hallisay was "great" in the delivery room - because she ensured he was well fed and content throughout the long process.
She said: "This is the thing, too, if you are in labour, feed your husband and they are wonderful. He can't be hungry -- you need them!
"If he passed out or something bad happened out of being hangry, then I don't get what I need, which is my rock. I had pudding for him and snack bars ... it was great!"
The 35-year-old star says her husband was so "solid" during her labour, he should consider a new career helping women deliver their babies.
She told talk show host Jimmy Kimmel: "He should be a male doula. I was really worried that I was going to get that face -- 'Mmm, what's happening here?' -- and I'm not good at the faces so I would've been like, 'What does that mean? What does that mean!' But he was just like, 'This is great. I am so proud of you right now. This is awesome, you look beautiful.'
"I was really proud of him. He's that guy anyway, so he's impressive in that way, but he was great."
Autumn has already taken her first steps and her famous mother is nursing many bruises as a result - because she can't get to grips with the temporary gates installed around their home to keep the youngster contained.
She explained: "I have bruises everywhere from falling over [the gates].
"You're holding the baby and you have to lift up and then swing it ... it's impossible!"

Charlie Sheen is being investigated for allegedly threatening his dentist with a knife.
The 'Anger Management' actor is under investigation for assault with a deadly weapon following the incident in Los Angeles last Thursday (25.09.14) when he sought treatment for an abscess and reportedly went "insane" when a technician placed a mask over his face to administer nitrous oxide.
According to TMZ, the technician told police the 49-year-old star was flailing his arms and striking her, so she left the room as the actor's security guard entered.
Following a "lot of commotion", Charlie's dentist - who had also been in the room along with an oral surgeon - left the room and told the technician his famous patent had gone after him with a knife, but he was unhurt.
The technician also reported to officers that Charlie's bodyguard had told the dentist the former 'Two and a Half Men' star was "high on rock cocaine".
Police are investigating the claims and Charlie could face charges of possible battery against the technician and felony assault with a deadly weapon for the alleged knife attack on the dentist.
Officers are keen to interview both the actor and the dentist before sending the case to the district attorney's office, who will decide whether or not to prosecute.

Jennifer Love Hewitt's 10-month-old daughter goes to Zumba classes.
The 35-year-old actress takes her baby girl Autumn most places with her and the tot joins in when she participates in the dance-based exercise.
Autumn is a big music fan and is already showing a preference for songs by Drake and Pharrell Williams but her favourite song is smash hit collaboration 'Bang Bang' by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj.
During an appearance on 'The Talk' on Wednesday (01.10.14), Jennifer said: "She likes Drake. She likes salsa, she does Zumba classes with me, I hold her and she gets really into it. She loved Pharrell's 'Happy' for a while but now it's all about 'Bang Bang', when she hears that song she gets so excited. She's got good taste."
The 'Criminal Minds' star also revealed she and her husband Brian Hallisay found it really difficult to pick a name for their daughter, and despite what family and friends thought they didn't pick the seasonal moniker because she was born in November.
Jennifer said: "We both just really loved it, she happened to come early and was born in autumn and everyone was like, 'Oh that's so cute.' I was like, 'No, that's really not why we named her autumn we just really liked the name' but I was really surprised by pregnancy I thought it was going to be everything else that was really hard about pregnancy but then there was this moment where we were both sat there and we were like, 'Oh my god we have to name a human!' It's like for her whole life, unless she goes down and is like, 'No I want to be called Princess Consuela Banana Hammock,' or whatever she's going to change her name to. But we were like, 'She's going to be stuck with this name.' It's a lot of pressure but it was great and we just loved it."

Jordin Sparks wants to stay friends with Jason Derulo.
The 24-year-old singer and the 'Talk Dirty' hitmaker recently ended their two-year relationship and the 'No Air' star bares no ill-feeling towards her former boyfriend.
Asked if they will stay friends, she told TMZ: "I hope so, he's super busy, I'm super busy, he's got a tour, I've got movies... I just wish him the best."
Jason - who has admitted to ending the relationship over the phone - recently claimed he had dumped Jordin because of a pressure to get married, but she refused to be drawn into a war of words with the 25-year-old singer.
She said only: "I really don't have a comment on anything that's been said because it's just words."
And though she is happy to be single now, the 'Sparkle' star won't be using dating apps such as Tinder to find a new man.
She exclaimed: "No, no,no,no,no,no. No. Those things are just weird."
Jason recently insisted he and Jordin didn't end on bad terms but admitted they aren't talking to each other right now.
He said: "I wouldn't say [we're on] good terms. I'll be lying if I said that, but it's not a bad situation. There's no bad blood. We didn't end off on a weird way or a negative way. It's not like we're hitting each other up, like, 'Hey, what are you doing today?' "

Zoe Saldana has confirmed she is expecting twins.
The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actress - who confirmed her pregnancy for the first time last month - has admitted she and husband Marco Perego will be welcoming two babies into the world in the coming months after being quizzed on her plans for Halloween.
Asked if she will be dressing up for the spooky celebration, which takes place on October 31, she rubbed her growing baby bump and told E! News: "I might. I might need three costumes. I might have to make some adjustments, but it would be nice."
Zoe's admission came a few weeks after her friend and 'Crossroads' co-star Britney Spears accidentally let slip she is having twins.
Asked whether she would like to film a sequel to her 2002 film with Zoe, Britney said: "Who knows? That's a very good idea. But she's pregnant with twins right now. So I'm sure she's got a huge future ahead of her."
Asked if she had any advice for the 36-year-old star, the 'Perfume' hitmaker, who has sons Preston, nine, and Jayden James, eight, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, joked: "You're not ready. You don't know what you're in for."
Following a lot of speculation, Zoe acknowledged her pregnancy for the first time last month in an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video in which she nominated her husband to take her place and complete the task by having freezing water poured over his head to raise awareness for the nerve cell disease.
Turning to the side and rubbing her growing baby bump, the 'Avatar' star, who was nominated by director James Gunn, said in a video of the event: "I am accepting James Gunn's challenge to take on the ice bucket challenge.
"Obviously, I can't do it myself so I nominate my husband to take on the challenge and get rinsed with a nice bucket of ice water."

One Direction "chatted up" Rihanna at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).
The 'Little Things' hitmakers - comprising Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik - were delighted to find themselves sitting behind the 'Diamonds' singer at the awards ceremony last year and couldn't resist flirting with the Bajan beauty.
Writing in their new book 'Who We Are', Niall recalled: "We were at the VMAs and Rihanna was sitting in front of us. 'Louis!' I said, 'Look, there's Rihanna!' I was well impressed by that and we ended up chatting her up a bit."
The quintet also enjoyed a "great experience" with actor Johnny Depp when the 'Lone Ranger' star invited them to perform at his house because he had been unable to take his children Lily-Rose, 15, and 12-year-old Jack - who he has with former partner Vanessa Paradis - to one of their shows.
Louis shared: "We'd heard [Johnny Depp's] kids were fans of the band, which was cool.
"Originally he was going to come down to a show with his family, but he had an injury of some kind and was on crutches, so he said, 'I can't make it. So why don't you come down to my house and meet the kids?' We were like 'Er, OK. Let's all pile round Johnny Depp's house. Great!'
"So we did, and that was a great experience."

Dominic Cooper almost blinded Luke Evans whilst filming 'Dracula Untold'.
The 36-year-old actor admitted to getting a bit carried away during the fight scenes with his co-star - who plays the titular character - and was left feeling "terrible" when he almost "poked his eye out" with a sword.
In an interview with Shortlist magazine, Dominic said: "I nearly poked Luke's eye out with a sword. We were trying to be careful and not use metal swords, and I think because of movement within the sword it bounced back into his eye - so I don't take full responsibility. It was pretty terrible."
Despite the accident, Dominic enjoyed working on the film and loved playing villain Mehmed because it allowed him to be more daring and "over the top".
He said: "Mehmed is a terrifying man and desperate to take over the world. I love parts like this because you can be daring and they're quite eccentric and over the top. And I'm wearing golden armour."
However, the 'Mamma Mia!' star is unsure anyone will be impressed with his linguistic skills in the move.
He added: "I learnt a lot of Turkish - it'll probably be laughable, but I can pretend."

Matt Di Angelo is expecting a "punch" when his 'EastEnders' character becomes a rapist.
The 27-year-old actor has admitted he was uncomfortable when he was told by the writers his character Dean Wicks would sexually assault Queen Vic landlady Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and although he eventually committed to the plot he is expecting a backlash from viewers when the episode airs next Monday (06.10.14) on BBC One.
He said: "If I have to get abuse on Twitter and a punch in the mouth I'm fine with that, as long as one person speaks out. I don't care if we get 100,000 complaints if it helps one person."
However, Matt is worried about being associated with such a heinous crime, adding: "Your face is recognisable as the character, so to be associated with that crime is tough. There are people out there who blur the lines between what's real and what's not."
Although filming the scenes has not been easy, Matt believes it is the responsibility of a show like 'EastEnders' to tackle tough storylines in a way that can help viewers who may have experienced the same thing.
He added: "I realised 'EastEnders' is an institution and with that great power comes a responsibility to address these kind of problems that women go through a lot."
In the wake of Dean's violent action, viewers will see Linda keep silent about the rape until it is revealed that is pregnant.
