Four images have been released by the BBC, one of which shows the cast of professional dancers dressed in gold and black outfits.

Professionals who have already been revealed for the upcoming series include Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Graziano Di Prima, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Vito Coppola and Jowita Przystal – who won the dance competition in 2022 with her dance partner, wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin.

Another photo from the launch trailer shows Coppola dressed in a leather-look suit as he stands next to Przystal, who is wearing an all black ensemble with red lipstick.

The other two images depict dancers in motion, with Bychkova pictured in a stance that captures the movement of the gold material she is draped in.

Di Prima and Jones are also photographed mid-movement, with Di Prima grabbing hold of Jones’s waist.
