The Strictly Come Dancing cast recently partook in their first big rehearsal, and all the celebs and professionals gathered at a dance studio to begin their dancing journeys. Amanda Abbington, 51, was one of the attendees, and she looked relaxed and happy despite some backlash towards her signing.
Amanda had previously addressed her decision to join the programme on an Instagram Live, saying she wanted to challenge ‘negative’ perceptions of menopause and menopausal women. She said, ‘I’m not going to shy away from trying to push myself – we have to try and embrace the menopause and there’s so much negativity around the menopause. It upsets me.’
Eastenders actor Bobby Brazier, 20, also looked excited to be there, and his dad Jeff Brazier reposted the social media post, writing ‘Go on the boy. Proud of you.’ Speaking about his son, Jeff said, ‘I have no doubt he’ll impress people with his politeness and his manners. He has a really beautiful nature, he makes you feel good – that’s his gift. I can’t wait to see him share it with everybody else.’
Zara McDermott, the first Love Island star to compete on the show, arrived in sporty attire. An insider told The Sun that Zara is ‘absolutely stunning’ and ‘into fashion’ so she’s ‘up for anything they throw at her – the shorter and skimpier the better, really.’
Layton Williams, 28, has already bonded with couple Kai Widdrington, 27, and Nadiya Bychkova, 33, and it’s been said that he has asked bosses if he can become part of the fifth-same-sex coupling on the show. Could Kai and Layton be wowing on the dance floor next month?
Presenter Angela Rippon, 78, also showed up, and head judge Shirley Ballas has revealed that Angela can do the splits, which she believes will help her win the favour of the public during the upcoming autumn series.
Adam Thomas, 35, was also present, and he’s thrown himself into rehearsals after opening up about his arthritis diagnosis.
It looks like Strictly Come Dancing season is going to be a great one! Who do you think will win?
