Emma, Viscountess Wey-

mouth, 33, was a class act in a

pink floral gown with plunging

neck-line, while BBC pundit

and former Arsenal footballer

Alex Scott, 34, was a vision in

yellow in a low-cut sequined

mini dress.

Actress Catherine Tyldesley,

35, in a white dress with sheer

sleeves, smiled as former

Olympic rower James Crack-

nell, 47, leant over to take her

hand and give it a kiss. And

just a week after professional

dancers Katya Jones, 30, and

her husband Neil, 37,

announced their split, the pair

looked happy in each other’s

company as they performed a

routine for screaming fans.

They celebrated their sixth

wedding anniversary this

month, but the couple have

called it a day ten months

after Miss Jones was caught

drunkenly kissing her celeb-

rity partner last year, come-

dian Seann Walsh.

But the show must go on –

and they performed effort-

lessly together, twisting and

flicking at the launch.

Anton Du Beke, 53, also

seemed to be enjoying himself

as he danced with fellow pro-

fessional Dianne Buswell, 30.

Presenters Claudia Winkle-

man, 47, and Tess Daly, 50,

wore contrasting outfits, with

Miss Winkleman in a loose-fit-

ting red glittery suit and Miss

Daly in a dark velvet dress.

Ahead of the red carpet

launch Miss Scott told her fol-

lowers on Instagram: ‘So it’s

Strictly red carpet day. We get

to strut our stuff in our Strictly

glam to everyone. This is excit-

ing, I can’t wait.’

Between last night’s display

and the series returning later

next month, the celebrities

will be honing their dance

skills in the studio.

The launch programme will

be broadcast on September 7

before the series kicks off later

in the month.

TANS, tassels and no shortage

of thigh-split dresses... Strictly

Come Dancing is back and it

looks set to be as flashy as ever.

Last night’s launch event in

London gave fans a glimpse of the

contestants as they strutted their

stuff on stage for the first time.

TV host Anneka Rice, 60, seemed to

be swept up in the Strictly spirit as

she threw her hands in the air, beaming

in a tasselled turquoise mini dress.

But eyes were locked firmly on new

judge Motsi Mabuse who looked at

home on the Strictly red carpet, rub-

bing shoulders and posing alongside

head judge Shirley Ballas.

The 38-year-old, who is sister of pro-

fessional dancer Oti, went all out in a

one-shoulder black ruffle top with a

dramatic layered tulle skirt.

Meanwhile Miss Ballas, 58, looked

elegant next to the new judge in a

flowing white and purple gown and

sleek bobbed haircut.

Putting on

the glitz! It’s

curtains up

for Strictly
