"Strictly Come Dancing star Victoria Pendleton has said she wants her professional partner to be &amp;quot;tougher&amp;quot; on her. The Olympic gold medallist explained that she is used to having strict coaches while training, and thinks that Brendan Cole should be the same.   &amp;quot;I come from a professional sports background where people don&amp;#039;t ask you to do anything nicely,&amp;quot; Pendleton told the Radio Times. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m used to coaches shouting at me until I do something better, so I wouldn&amp;#039;t actually mind Brendan being tougher on me. He&amp;#039;s nothing in comparison to some coaches I&amp;#039;ve had.&amp;quot; Pendleton burst into tears after performing her first dance on the show last weekend, a cha cha cha to Kylie Minogue&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Spinning Around&amp;#039;. The cyclist recently revealed that she already doesn&amp;#039;t recognise her body as a result of training for Strictly. Strictly Come Dancing next airs on Saturday (October 13) at 6.30pm on BBC One.
