    A woman was left missing her front teeth and a broken nose – after “jokingly” attempting a “Dirty Dancing” lift with her boyfriend.

    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.

    The Righteous Brothers are on a huge 2023 tour. How much are tickets?

    But it all went wrong when she flew face-first into the water – 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 $362.

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

    Forget ‘Gone With the Wind’ — these are the movies that really could use trigger warnings

    “I guess we thought it would be funny if we just nailed it.

    “But I went face-first into the water on my second attempt.

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

    Flo’s partner drove her to hospital after the accident on September 19, 2024 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 $362 to cover the rest of her treatment now she’s back in the UK – as well as 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.”
