Strictly Come Dancing 2023 first look as Zara McDermott does ‘noodle’ dance and Bobby Brazier nails the worm

STRICTLY Come Dancing's latest crop of celebrity contestants have given the first glimpse at their fancy footwork.

The BBC show posted a sneak peek video to its Instagram page after Strictly's 2023 celebrity line-up was confirmed.

With Strictly's launch date recently made public, the challenge to bag the iconic Glitter Ball isn't far away.

As such, the famous faces have sought solace in their signature moves - with varying success.

Strictly's official social media page teased: "Look who’s warming up for a brand new series of #Strictly.

"We’re back in the Ballroom this Autumn!"

The cast then showed off their stuff, with Zara McDermott, 26, kicking things off with the noodle.

The Sun recently exclusively revealed Zara's plan to be the "sexiest Strictly star ever."

She opened the video in a sparkling red dress as she told the camera: "When I dance I look like one of those inflatable mascots outside a car dealership.

"Whooooo like a noodle - I've got very noodly arms you see," before giving a demonstration.

Meanwhile Bobby Brazier was full of smiles as he introduced his routine, and said: "This is the caterpillar

Pointing at someone off screen, he continued: "This lady's so worried."

He then fell to the floor and wriggled around with aplomb.

He quipped: "On my knees," before bursting into fits of giggles.

Earlier this month, we reported how many of the Strictly Come Dancing pros are desperate to be paired with either Zara or Bobby, 20.

Yet Coronation Street's Ellie Leach had a bone to pick with Bobby and accused him of stealing her "signature move."

The show's oldest contestant Angela Rippon kept things classy with a Charleston as she showed off some impressive moves in a red jumpsuit.

Nigel Harman confessed he "wasn't breathing" while Krishnan Guru Murthy showcased a "hip wiggle" while wearing a smart blue suit.

BBC presenter Angela Scanlon then confessed: "I kind of think I can give the twerk a go."

After showcasing the cheeky move, she quizzed: "I don't even know if that's an actual twerk is it?

"I'm looking for reassurance."

Meanwhile, the professional stars have also been at war over who will pitch for the show's fifth same-sex partnership.
