Ekaterina Leonova and Mathias Mester show their blue eyes from "Let's Dance" training
"Brilliant," is how Ekaterina Leonova describes it at the breakfast table, which she shares with Mathias Mester shortly before the show.
But that's not entirely true, as the two later admit.
Some may complain about sore muscles from the hard training – the two each show a black eye in the Instagram camera.
"We have blue eyes," explains Ekaterina Leonova.

"Let's Dance": Ekaterina Leonova and Mathias Mester dance with a black eye
Where did the little incident come from?
"I have no idea, that's probably from the Basti," jokes Leonova, who is affectionately called "Ekat" by her fans.
Leonova had previously spoken about her involuntarily colored left eye on Instagram.
"You used a special filter to hide my black eye.
Someone hit me," she joked in the direction of dance partner Bastian Bielendorfer.
And further: "My eye is really blue".

However, the two do not provide any further explanations for their ailments.
Probably because they don't know exactly how they contracted it themselves.
Either way, the two take it with humor.
In Mester's clip, however, there is at least one idea for an explanation: while turning, he accidentally took a hit from dance partner Renata Lusin, which he then cooled with a cold pack.
On the dance floor itself, however, you can no longer see any of the small blemishes, after all, the best hair and make-up artists are waiting backstage.
