BBC share first pic of professional dancers
This year's line-up of trained dancers have shared an exclusive picture from the Strictly dance studio on Twitter complete with beaming smiles and their pearly whites as they gear up to twirl pop stars, soap stars and showbiz legends around the BBC ball room.
Ola, who seriously injured herself on Channel 4 reality show The Jump earlier this year, has bounced back on fine form to join her Strictly co-stars, which this year include familiar faces Brendan Cole, Kevin Clifton, Pasha Kovalev, Natalie Lowe and Aliona Vilani.

All day the dancers have been excitedly posting messages and pictures online ahead of the 13th series which officially kicks off this Autumn.

But what we really want to know is which famous faces will be joining them?
Even the dancers themselves are being kept in the dark as to their celebrity partners, but current favourites to be digging out their dancing shoes are BBC weather girl Carol Kirkwood, Loose Women star Jamelia and newly wed star Peter Andre.
