Strictly Come Dancing pro dancers unite for night out after rehearsals kick off for new series

THE Strictly Come Dancing pro dancers have been spotted uniting for a rare night out after rehearsals kicked off for the new series.

Katya Jones and Diane Buswell were seen among the group of stars leaving after a day of gruelling training to head out together.

The Strictly Come Dancing stars could be seen gathering on the steps outside the training space as they kicked off rehearsals for the new series.

Diane, 33, and Katya, 33, were among the regular faces posing for snaps as they headed out together following the tough day.

They were joined by co-stars Nancy Xu, Lauren Oakley, Jowita Pryzstal, Ash-Leigh Hunter and Michelle Tsiakkas.

Diana wowed fans in a bright green top and short black and white skirt, which she paired with black boots as she let her red hair down.

Meanwhile, Katya showed off her toned legs in a pair of small black denim shorts, a white t-shirt and bomber jacket.

She could be seen smiling and laughing with Diane as they left the studios, before the rest of the professional cast piled out behind.

The much-loved BBC One competition is due to return to screens in September – with FOUR celebrity stars already announced.

Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh , actor Will Mellor, radio host Richie Anderson and Loose Women’s Kaye Adams will take to the floor in the latest series.

Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton du Beke will make a comeback as the four judges for the new series.

While Claudia Whinkleman and Tess Daly are due to feature as the show’s hosts – just as they have done in previous years.

It comes after Loose Women star Kaye, 59 , announced on the ITV daytime chat show on Friday that she will be joining actor Will Mellor, 46 , who was revealed as part of the dance line-up on Wednesday.

Kaye was joined by Denise Welch , Sunetra Sarker and Carol McGiffin on Friday’s episode, as they kept viewers guessing which panellist had signed up to the dancing competition.

The presenter was thrilled to reveal the news and said she will be joining the line-up.

Kaye told viewers: “It’s time to find out which Loose Women is taking place in this year’s Strictly.”

Nadia Sawalha asked how she was feeling, looking nervous, Kaye said: “I can’t dance at all, I’ve got two left feet.”
