Mollie King steals the show at Strictly Come Dancing by twerking in a yellow dress at star-studded launch night
MOLLIE King proved she could be the one to beat as she showed off her dance moves at the official Strictly Come Dancing launch on Monday.
The stunning star twerked up a storm in her dazzling yellow dress as she hit the stage with actor Joe McFaddon.
The pair joined fellow celebrities, professional dancers, judges and presenter Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman for the vibrant event held at the BBC Broadcasting House.
Mollie looked picture perfect as she made her way onto the stage in the bright tasselled gown which she teamed with metallic heels.
Her blonde locks were styled into sleek waves and she completed her look with numerous bangles.
Mollie proved she is ready to throw herself into her dance routines as she delighted the crowds by twerking once she reached the centre of the stage.
It appears the star is getting on well with Holby City star Joe as the pair were seen hugging and laughing backstage as they kept close during the hectic event.
The stars had all been dressed up to the nines earlier in the night as they gave fans a taste of what was to come in the new series.
Gemma Atkinson, Mollie and presenter Ruth Langsford all dazzled in their colourful tasselled dresses.
The new series is set to kick off soon - on Saturday September 9 and it will be the first year without former Head Judge Len Goodman.

Charlotte Hawkins let slip that the launch show for the ballroom and Latin programme will air then when she and her fellow all-star competitors are partnered up with the professionals.
The 42-year-old presenter made the announcement while presenting Good Morning Britain but, although the launch show will hit screens at the beginning of September, the series won't officially start until the end of the month.
The new series will also feature a special tribute to Sir Bruce Forsyth - who sadly passed away at the age of 89 last week - and the dancer have already started rehearsing the "heartfelt" performance to celebrate his life and his 10 years co-hosting the programme.
Louise Rainbow, the show's executive producer, said: "The thoughts of everyone here are still very much with Sir Bruce's family.
"Of course, we will be paying tribute to Sir Bruce at our launch show and this will include a heartfelt performance from our Strictly professional dancers.
"We all want to celebrate him and all that he loved about the show. Sir Bruce was, and will always be, a huge part of Strictly Come Dancing."
Bruce is survived by his wife Lady Wilnelia Forsyth and his six children - daughters Debbie, Julie and Laura from his first marriage with Penny Calvert, Charlotte and Louisa with his second spouse Anthea Redfern and a son with Wilnelia - as well as nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
