Strictly first look! Stunning Helen Skelton leads celebs as stars shimmy with glitterball

Helen Skelton and the rest of this year's Strictly Come Dancing celebrities were dressed to the nines as they showed off their moves in a new preview clip.

The Strictly stars got down on the makeshift dancefloor to the BBC show's theme song as they threw disco balls toward the next person.

In the clip shared on the official Instagram page, the celebrities looked like royalty in their suits, sequins and dresses.

"January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, #Strictly...," the caption read.

The clip had Helen rocking a black and copper ensemble which made the star look ready for the dancefloor.

Her long blonde locks were in perfect waves and cascaded down her chest.

She rocked black high heels and a black top underneath the wrap-around jumpsuit.

Helen looked gorgeous as she smiled at the cameras and juggled the disco ball and danced around.

The other stars looked equally as ethereal in their elaborate outfits.

Fleur East commanded attention in her neon lime green co-ord top and skirt that was covered in fur, with Matt Goss keeping it equally as bright in a green blazer and trousers.

Other stars competing this year include James Bye, Hamza Yassin, Tony Adams, Ellie Taylor, Tyler West, Ellie Simmonds, Jayde Adams, Richie Anderson, Kaye Adams, Will Mellor and Kym Marsh.

People were loving how all the stars looked and took to the comment section to compliment them and share their excitement for the show to start.

"They all look fabulous," one user commented, while another added: "Soo Exciting can’t wait."

A Strictly fan also wrote: "Can't wait. Bring on all the glitz, glamour, dance and fun. Xx"

Helen previously said she was nervous about taking part (BBC)

Helen previously said she was nervous about taking part in the show despite being installed as the second favourite at 6/1, behind singer Fleur East at 7/2.

The TV star said: “I just wanted to wear nice dresses. I work on farms. I watch cows give birth and stand in wellies.”
