Strictly Come Dancing reveal sneak peek at Ruth Langsford and Davood Ghadami working up a sweat in the final rehearsals
STRICTLY Come Dancing kicks off tonight, with 12 nervous celebrities preparing to take to the dancefloor and compete for the glitterball trophy.
For the past few weeks the stars of the show have been hard at work mastering their steps and now, BBC bosses have revealed some behind the scenes pictures of their final rehearsals.
Strictly superfan Ruth Langsford looked at ease with her partner Anton Du Beke but she’s not found the training easy.
Earlier this week, the This Morning star admitted she was struggling to remember all her moves to her first dance.
Davood Ghadami was paired with Nadiya Bychkova and the pair seemed to be enjoying their final day of rehearsals.
Beaming into the cameras, the EastEnders star looked completely at home with his partner as they prepared to dance the Cha-Cha-Cha to Dedication To My Ex by Lloyd ft. Andre 3000.
Aston Merrygold and his professional dancer Janette Manrara struck the perfect pose as they worked on their Foxtrot.
They will take to the floor to perform Harry Connick Jnr’s hit song It Had To Be You.
One of Strictly’s most nervous stars Debbie McGee appears to have found her confidence again.
Showing off her hold with Giovanni Pernice, the wife of the late Paul Daniel’s will be showing her fiery side when the pair perform the Paso Doble to Be Italian by Fergie.
Mollie King looked as though she was having the time of her life with AJ Pritchard.
Throwing her arms out to the side as AJ danced behind her, Mollie will no doubt be spending today mulling over their jive routine.
