Strictly Come Dancing 2010 - the celebrities

This is how fabulous Felicity Kendal is: she manages to make this red sequinned concoction look chic, despite it coming with a small wedding hat attached at the hip Photograph: BBC/JOHN WRIGHT/BBC

I'm not sure I actually have the words to describe Gavin Henson's outfit - well the parts of it he remembered to wear. I am however, transfixed by his hands. What's he doing? Holding his trousers up? Or is there a chest-expander concealed in his cummerbund? Photograph: John Wright/BBC

This is Goldie. Wearing a gold (of course) shirt and cummerbund/wrestling champion's belt … Photograph: John Wright/BBC

And this is Ann Widecombe. Wearing what appears to be Goldie's gold shirt and cummerbund chopped up a bit. Creditably, she has her 'Rt Hon' included in the official photo caption: never forget you're a member of the Privy Council, even when you're doing the jive Photograph: John Wright/BBC

Jimi Mistry tries to laugh off the fact that his shirt has pintucks instead of actual buttons and buttonholes Photograph: John Wright/BBC

Really, Pamela Stephenson? You agreed to ruffles, a sequinned bra strap, front ruching and enormous jewelled washing-up gloves? Photograph: John Wright/BBC

Peter Shilton. Thank God. You look relatively normal - nice even. Do you actually have three pocket hankerchiefs, though? Or is someone in BBC wardrobe a master of origami? Photograph: John Wright/BBC

Kara Tointon dons a very Strictly costume – one that will make her look like a carwash when she shimmies Photograph: John Wright/BBC

Matt Baker manages to somehow look minimal and stylish(ish). And to do up his shirt a bit (take note: Gavin, Jimi). Although sequins that close to the chin could be scratchy Photograph: John Wright/BBC

It's unclear why Tina O'Brien appears to be wearing the contents of a small girl's bedroom from the ribcage down, with a hat/hair combination that's reminiscent of Marge Simpson Photograph: John Wright/BBC

Paul Daniels is already striking some kind of dancey-pose, which I like. Not a lot … (groan) Photograph: John Wright/BBC

Full marks to Patsy Kensit for working her smouldering look. Particularly given the amount of shiny, flammable man-made fabric she's wearing … Photograph: John Wright/BBC

EastEnders' Scott Maslen has a bit of a Simon Cowell stance/trousers situation going on here. Photograph: John Wright/BBC

And finally Destiny's Child Michelle Williams, who I'm sure wore something very familiar when she was in Destiny's child, and somehow makes it look fabulous Photograph: John Wright/BBC
