THEY turned up in their glittering gowns and sparkling suits for a star-studded event at Broadcasting House in London yesterday.
And the new cast of Strictly Come Dancing seem to be raring to go.
The show's 15th series will kick off on Saturday September 9 with a fresh batch of 15 celebrity contestants. They are Mollie King, Davood Ghadami, Ruth Langsford, Gemma Atkinson, Rev Richard Coles, Joe McFadden, Simon Rimmer, Aston Merrygold, Susan Calman, Brian Conley, Charlotte Hawkins, Chizzy Akudolu, Debbie McGee, Jonnie Peacock and Alexandra Burke.
Executive producer Louise Rainbow has promised that the first show will open with a "heartfelt performance" in tribute to former presenter Sir Bruce Forsyth, who died last Friday at the age of 89. He fronted the show alongside Daly from its launch in 2004 until 2014, before handing the baton over to Winkleman.
