Five reasons to watch the 'Strictly' launch
Published Saturday, Sep 11 2010, 12:54 BST | By Alex Fletcher | 5 comments
We all know which celebrities are taking part in Strictly series eight, so all we need now is to find out who they will be partnered with as they attempt to master the cha cha cha, rumba and tango. Will there be tantrums, tears or maybe even a romance? On tonight's red carpet launch show, we'll find out who is partnered with who and have a better idea of how the series is going to shape up for the rest of year. Reality Bites was lucky enough to see the launch being filmed and below are five teasers about what you can expect from this evening's entertainment:
1. There is an Argentine tango like you have never seen before. Keep your eyes peeled for Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone's incredible entrance during the first full pro-dancer ensemble performance of the series. We'll give you a clue - it must have been a BBC health and safety nightmare!
2. Ola and Kristina's eye-popping outfits. Erin, Flavia, Katya and the rest all look as stunningly beautiful as ever, but it is Ola and Kristina who flash the most flesh with dresses that show a hell of a lot of faith in t*t tape. Male viewers will also be pleased that not a single of millimeter of leg isn't revealed by the duo.
3. Pecs Alert! Gay Spy fans will be pleased to know that new pros Artem and Robin aren't afraid of letting the world see exactly what they've got under their shiny shirts. The three new men in the Strictly family are given their own routine to perform and they prove that even if Ian Waite isn't a full member of the show this year, there's still going to be plenty of phwoar-some male chest on display.
4. The bootylicious Michelle Williams! Don't believe the rumours that she was the "quiet one" in Destiny's Child. Judging from what we saw on the opening show, she's going to be an absolute hoot and a star of the series. Her pro partnership looks like it might provide a few fireworks as well!
5. If you can take your eyes off the outfits and Tess's all-new backstage interview tower, then keep your peepers out for a celeb-packed audience. Debbie McGee and Billy Connolly will no doubt be regular visitors during the latest series, but also watch our for former contestants Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Groves and old pro favourites Karen Hardy, Lilia Kopylova and Matthew Cutler. BBC One Controller Jay Hunt also managed to bag herself a plum spot near the front. It's all right for some!
The Strictly launch show airs tonight at 6.25pm on BBC One.
