With less than a week to go before the launch of Strictly Come Dancing excitement is building.
Contestant Katie McGlynn has revealed her transformation for the BBC dance show as she revealed her nerves.
"Safe to say I’ve officially been ‘Strictlyfied’ Can’t believe it all starts in less than a week," she said as she shared an official photo of herself looking tanned in a champagne coloured web effect dress and bronze dancing heels.

The former Coronation Street star, who is now playing Becky in Hollyoaks, added the hashtags: "#Strictly #razzledazzle #glittermeup."
And the down-to-earth actress from Rochdale pressed the button on nervous-faced emojis as the support came flooding in from friends.
Former Corrie co-star Catherine Tyldesley told her: "This is Everything."
And her Hollyoaks co-star Lucy-Jo Hudson praised: "You look insane."
Another follower complimented: "Looking great Katie. Glad you are getting into Strictly spirit."
"Can't wait for it to start and see you hit that dance floor," said another.
Katie previously said about getting dressed up for the dance floor: "Spay tan me up, throw glitter on me, do whatever you want I'm so excited."
Last week, following reports that Katie had injured her foot while kicking a Glitterball prop, she shared a photo of a small cut on her big toe as she brushed away talk of any drama.
The star showed that her foot is healing nicely after the accident which reportedly happened while filming promotional content for the new series which kicks off on Saturday.
And she said she'd actually had a 'lovely day.'
Katie is close to finding out who she will be partnered up with on the show.
The actress is one of 15 celebrities taking part in the popular dance series and Katie said she was 'super chuffed' to be joining the programme.
Taking to Instagram, the star recently shared a selfie from Strictly host Tess Daly's dressing room.
Katie, who was in Corrie until 2019, won high praise for her role as Sinead Osbourne, who passed away after battling cervical cancer.
Last year she scooped the National Television Award for best serial drama performance.
