Plenty of the cast of this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing have already been giving fans a teaser of what’s to come in some glitzy backstage pictures.
The show is due to return in just a few weeks time, with the cast having been announced earlier this month.
And of course, the soon-to-be contestants are already getting ready in full Strictly style.
This year’s cast includes a host of famous faces, with actor Greg Wise and Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star Katie McGlynn among those on the line-up.
Their fellow stars Dan Walker, Rhys Stephenson and Adam Peaty have all given fans a taste of the sort of styles they might be sporting this year.
Adam couldn’t resist a cheeky snap, in which he shared a very revealing outfit choice with fans.

Earlier this week, the Olympic gold medallist tweeted: ‘Think I got the wrong outfit @BBCStrictly.’
In the picture, Adam can be seen wearing a very short pink and gold sparkling dress.
Many fans were quick to compliment the look in the comments, with Adam looking ready and raring to begin his Strictly journey.

He isn’t the only star to have caused a stir on social media, with Dan Walker also having a laugh behind-the-scenes.
The BBC Breakfast presenter posted a picture of himself on Twitter with a tight bodysuit as he smiled for the camera.
Dan asked: ‘How have I got to this point in my life without knowing that there are shirts which attach to shorts?
‘What are they even called? *2nd photo includes trousers. Day 1 of Strictly was a sparkly delight.’

Also getting to grips with the attire is CBBC presenter Rhys, who shared his outfit for his promo shot.
In the snap on his Instagram, he can be seen wearing diamond pattered orange and black shirt and black trousers.
He captioned it: ‘First strictly shoot and I think I’ve found my power stance! #strictly2021.’

‘My 2 new favourite people @lisaarmstrongmakeup and @lisadaveyhair – I just want to take them home with me so I can look this good all the time!

‘I think I’m just going to sleep sitting up in the chair for the next week so I can keep my hair and makeup on!! (You think I’m kidding…)’.
With the first episode just around the corner, who will manage to make it all the way and win the coveted glitterball trophy?
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One this autumn.
