There are a lot of women who wouldn't mind a bit more on top and look on their more buxom sisters with envy.

But having big breasts isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially if you're Alex Jones and Chelsee Healey.

Because the Strictly Come Dancing contestants are in agony and blame their ample assets for giving them severe back pain when they dance.

Poise through the pain: Alex Jones strikes an elegant pose during last week's Strictly routine but has been in agony with her back which is being blamed on her large breasts

According to reports today, Alex has been given pain killers and Chelsee will be strapped ahead of tonight's semi-final to help ease the pain.

Alex, 34, is having daily physiotherapy and will have sports bars sewn into her outfit to support her 34D chest.

Her spine is said to be particularly sore after practising the salsa's bouncy steps with partner James Jordan.

Strapped up: Chelsee Healey showed off her impressive cleavage last week but will be heavily supported for tonight's semi-final for her back pain

A show source told the Sun: 'Alex has got a gorgeous figure but big boobs do cause back ache, especially if you're not used to doing so much exercise.

'Her back is really bad at the moment and it's thought her breasts are adding to the problem.

'She’s been suffering for a few weeks now but she is embarrassed and doesn't want the sympathy vote.'

Embarrassed: Chelsee nearly bared all on one of the shows in October when her dress snapped during a routine

Chelsee, 23, has also been suffering and will be strapped up in her dress tonight to support her 32DD boobs and help ease the pain.

She took to her Twitter page and wrote: 'My back is in bits can`t walk never mind dance! I’m in agony with it, just need to rest up tonight. Still really sore, got a heat pack on it.'

At the end of October, Chelsee's boobs proved to be another problem when one of them fell out after a wardrobe malfunction.

Chelsee and Alex will be up against Holly Valance, Jason Donovan and Harry Judd in tonight's semi-final.
