Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals kick off as Grazio Di Prima and Dianne Buswell reunite

It might be hard to comprehend that the year has gone so quickly, but Strictly Come Dancing's return is only around the corner with the professional dancer's getting back to rehearsals today.

Strictly professional Grazio Di Prima delighted fans on Tuesday as he took to Instagram to share a glimpse at the rehearsals as he introduced two brand-new pro dancers to the Strictly clan.

The Italian dancer, 28, beamed the snaps alongside his fellow dancer, Dianne Buswell, as they shared their excitement about the upcoming 2022 series.

Grazio and Dianne looked in high spirits as they took a quick break from dancing to sit on the floor where they snapped a sweet picture together with the new arrivals, Lauren and Michelle.

Italian hunk Grazio also posted a selfie of himself smiling ear-to-ear alongside the caption: "My face after the first Strictly rehearsal."

Over on Dianne's Instagram page, the flame-haired beauty also shared some snaps as she was reunited with her Strictly family, including Amy Dowden.

The gorgeous stars posed up a storm as they took a break from rehearsals.

Dianne also shared her excitement at being reunited with Johannes Radebe and Kai Widdrington who performed a sexy salsa together for Dianne's Instagram fans.

The Strictly reunion comes after a former soap star has claimed he will be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing 2022.

Adam Thomas, who played Adam Barton in Emmerdale from 2009 until 2018, has revealed he will be hitting the dance floor this Autumn.

The 33-year-old actor confirmed that he will be part of this year's celebrity line-up.

"Bring it all on I love a bit of glitz and glam," he said speaking to the Mail Online.

"I'm not the best dancer in the world, I wish. Though once I've had a drink, I do believe I'm the best dancer in the world.

"Sober it is a completely different story.

"I have never won anything in my life so it would be nice but I'm not necessarily competitive.

"I try to do my best in anything I sign up to but as cheesy and cliché as it sounds it's about the journey and experience you go through," the actor added.

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One later this year.
