I was lucky enough to be at the Red Carpet event last night - brilliant night!
Some info that might explain the pro dancers outfits - they make their arrivals in a huge, red, glittery rocket on the stage, so maybe they were going for a 'space' look? The judges also 'arrive' this way and Anton and Brendan went back to escort Claudia and Tess out - except the rocket door wouldn't lift up properly at this point and Claudia crawled out underneath it before they re-filmed ![]() The celebs lined up on the stage and were called down in pairs to walk the red carpet - I agree, some of their outfits were questionable! The best part was when the celebs were chatting to the press on the red carpet - the pro dancers came into the audience to mingle, chat and give a lot of hugs, Wasn't expecting that, they were so lovely and pumped up for the new series. I got to chat/hug with Janette, Alijaz, Karen, Kevin, Brendan, Anton (think he hugged EVERYONE in the crowd!) and new boys , Gorka, AJ and Neil. I did ask AJ how old he was and Neil joked '16' (he looked it!) He was joking about how much make up they put on him, but was very excited to be there, Zoe Ball was also there filming for It Takes Two. The red carpet 'mingling' went on for quite a while, but did notice Will Young was barely on it and hanging around to the side instead. He did seem a bit awkward with it all last night. Lesley was the last one to stop chatting away ![]() Finally, they filmed the start of the opening dance routine - 3 times! They start with C&C Music Factory 'Everybody Dance Now' and merge into Justin Timberlake 'Can't Stop the Feeling' ................ which is obviously cut short, to be continued tonight! I was impressed how organised it all was and how much love the dancers gave back to the crowd - at the end, we could see inside the studio and it has all got me very excited for the show to start now, hope it's a good one!

That's great Tinkerbella! Thanks
![]() Can I ask, where was it held and how did you get to be present? It's filmed at Elstree; they literally set up a little stage and red carpet leading into the usual Strictly studio. I got tickets through the BBC website - like a lot of people, have applied for Strictly tickets for years and never had any luck, until last night! Really wasn't sure what to expect, but to meet and greet the pro dancers was an added bonus and amazing night - especially as they were so lovely to all the crowd, climbing up to hug people. Need to catch up on the Iplayer later!

Other observations: I was surprised at how terrified Will & Danny looked. Loved the latter giving a quick flash of his pecs though!!! ![]() Did not know anything about Daisy before but have fallen madly in love with her voice - so husky and sexy!!! Laura and her "new-found confidence" is already beyond annoying. I liked her on IACGMOOHN but she really needs to reign it in here Neil also looks like he's going to be somewhat grating. |
