She put a pair of headphones around her neck and straightened her dark brown locks as she left her hotel London.

Meanwhile, Dianne showed off her abs in a khaki green crop top, paired with black jeans and a leather jacket.

The professional dancer completed the look with a pair of boots and a large leopard print bag.

Molly Rainford was all smiles as she stepped out in a striking orange jacket, paired with a black crop top and blue jeans.

Ellie Simmonds, Jayde Adams, Will Mellor and Tyler West joined their fellow celebrities and pro partners as they hit the studios.

Judge Shirley Ballas appeared in jovial spirits as she grinned and held a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates as she left the BBC studios.

The pre-recorded launch show, originally scheduled to air on September 17, was postponed to tonight following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

At the strict launch show, which was filmed on September 7, this year’s celebrities will discover their professional partners for the first time.

The couples are training in the scheduled slot on September 24 in the run-up to their debut performance, one day after the launch.

Government guidelines have stated that entertainment events are not required to be canceled or postponed during the mourning period, although this has been strongly suggested as a mark of respect.

It comes just a week after the first trailer for this year’s Strictly was released, showcasing this year’s professional dancers.

This series has also seen the introduction of four new professionals, European Cup winner Vito Coppola, Chinese National Champion Carlos Gu, former British Under-21 National Champion, Lauren Oakley and Latin dance champion Michelle Tsiakkas.

This series will air for the first time in three years without Covid measures, which forced bosses to introduce restrictions, including ‘bubbles’ for training and limited viewing figures.
