No doubt there'll be interview clips all over the web by Wednesday afternoon from Tuesday's Red Carpet Press Launch (that's the general idea, after all), the full show will apparently be looped on the Red Button on Wednesday night from 7.25pm:

Zoe Ball hosts and speaks to all the celebs, presenters and judges, with profiles of the newb pro dancers and a behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot.
The new pro's looked good aswell.
They are generally all coming across OK, with Alison being the most relaxed. Steve is a good off-the-cuff talker too, as is Tim. Despite being the oldest, Tim might be around for a while.
I'm looking forward to the New Pros dance, esp with Joanne (considering she's a fresh World champ).
I actually liked Caroline Flack, from the small amount of interview time we saw of the celebs . I know she's had flack for the Harry Styles liaison, but he was legally consenting at the time (?) and that thing is well over now so I think we can surely all move on from it. She just seems like a down to earth girl you could have a laugh with. I'll be interested to see how she does and if Brendan gets her like he seemed to say he wanted.
That was what I thought about Caroline too. Of the younger ones, she spoke most naturally and collectedly and seemed there, if you know what I mean. And I warmed very much to Joanne too.
My take on the contestants having heard the ones I wasn't familiar with speak about the show:
Favourites:
Tim Wonnacott
Steve Backshall
Quite like:
Caroline Flack
Gregg Wallace
Jennifer Gibney
Judy Murray
Pixie Lott
Thom Evans
Neutral/undecided:
Frankie Bridge
Mark Wright
Sunetra Sarker
Not really taken to them so far but nothing against them:
Jake Wood (who, to be fair, didn't really get much screen time on his own)
Simon Webbe
Came into this with a mildly negative view of them & VTs didn't change that:
Scott Mills (for constantly spoilering the performances in the Eurovision semis & generally being a bit obnoxious as a Eurovision co-host.)
Alison Hammond (I didn't really take to her in Big Brother either - I've always found her manner a bit forced/unconvincing.)
---
Even the ones I'm not so keen on I'm not massively anti at this stage. I'm just hoping that Tim and Steve stay in for at least a few weeks, because they are so charming. I really like those two!
I'm glad that this is on iPlayer because I missed it. I didn't think that it would be because it was on the red button.
I'll catch up with it tomorrow night before Saturday's launch!
Seeing Claud between Tess and Zoe made me think she's tiny - but she's 2 inches taller than me
Frankie has a mutant shaped head and no discernable personality
Steve has an unexpectedly high voice
Trent is disconcertingly wiggly
Joanne sounds straight out of a Dawood & Tanner tooth advert
Tristan - moody under-eyelash look!
Thom (sic) looks way too much like his ex, Kelly
Jennifer - blink and you missed her - looks as though she could be fun
Scott could be annoying
[Little dig by Claud at Sophie last year, wanting to "hold onto her natural colour"?]
Alison is already annoying. Miss Funnity MkII Zoe "Loves her" oh dear.
Tim seems benign enough, at least he's more articulate than some of the younger ones
Pixie is annoying
Gregg (sic) and Jake have mutant SHINY heads. Gregg's is more pointy and what comes out of the front of it is definitely annoying. Jake, though possessing the taller head seems quieter and may be sweeter than his threatening looks.
Judy looks rather wooden
Mark SO fancies himself but has a really ugly voice
Simon's mutant hairdo is sillier than Frankie's and his voice is annoying
Sunetra seems cool but all the stethoscope gimmicks will wear thin so quickly
Caroline - quite guarded I think
I actually quite like them all I even like Claudia and Tess more then I thought I would
