Woman lands in hospital with a broken nose and missing front teeth while doing a “Dirty Dancing” lift with her partner (video)

A woman landed in hospital with a broken nose and missing front teeth while doing a “Dirty Dancing” lift with her partner. 

Flo Bragg, 27, was holidaying in Provence, France, when she decided to try the famous lift from the 1987 smash, made famous by Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. 

The pair were “bored” at their villa when she decided to pass the time by recreating the famous lift with her partner, 40, in the pool.  

But it all went wrong when she flew face-first into a wall – knocking out her two front teeth, and breaking her nose in the process. 

Now, she’s trying to raise money for her dental treatment, including x-rays and a double root canal, which will set her back £270. 

Flo, a sales executive from Exeter, said: “We were just bored one day – we decided to attempt it a couple of times. 

“I guess we thought it would be funny if we just nailed it. But I went face-first into a wall on my second attempt. 

“My boyfriend had knocked out my two front teeth, and broke my nose!” 

In the video, the couple appear to be giggling as they perform the ambitious lift in the pool.  

But Flo soon plummets from the lift and crashes into the water, later revealing she hit the wall on her way down.  

Her partner initially laughs at the failed lift but quickly realises something is wrong when she cries: “I split my lip, I split my lip! Help, help help!” 

He exclaims: “You’re bleeding, you’re bleeding!’ and they rush to the side of the pool.” 

Flo’s partner drove her to hospital after the accident on September 19 where she had her teeth temporarily glued back in. 

She felt unable to enjoy the rest of her holiday – because she wasn’t able to eat “regular” food and had to keep her face out of the sun. 

But she needs to raise £270 to cover the rest of her treatment, and now she’s back in the UK, as well as her French medical bills. 

“Any money I can raise towards that would be great,” she added. 

“I ended up with one broken nose, one split lip, and two lost teeth over a lift.”
