Ahead of Friday's launch show, Strictly Come Dancing shared a glitzy clip of Jayde Adams being 'Strictlified' alongside her fellow contestants. After the launch of Strictly was postponed following the Queen's death, fans of the hit BBC ballroom show were thrilled to tune in last night (September 23) as this year's celebrities waltz their way into the competition.
Amongst the glamorous celebrity cohort is Bristolian comedian Jayde Adams, who is taking part in Strictly in memory of her late sister, Jenna, who passed away aged just 28 years old. Ahead of her exciting entrance, Jayde, 37, posted small glimpses into her journey to being fully 'Strictlified', including showing off an exclusive burgundy Strictly flask which she had been given, and footage of her being glammed up for promo shots.
As Strictly fans prepared to sit down and watch the first show of the series, the official Strictly Instagram account has shared clips of this year's contestants being transformed from boring old celebs to sophisticated, glitter-covered ballroom stars. In the video, the famous faces can be seen wearing their normal clothes before clicking their fingers or twirling around to reveal their glamorous outfits.
