Strictly's Katie McGlynn looks 'incredible' in fiery suit snap

Katie McGlynn was inundated with compliments as she posed for a fiery snap.

The former Coronation Street star is currently preparing for her second performance on Strictly Come Dancing.

Katie, 28, got off to a great start last weekend as she made her ballroom debut with Gorka Marquez.

They received a score of 22 from the judges for their Tango to Black Hole by singer-songwriter Griff.

Speaking to former professional dancer Janette Marara on It Takes Two on Thursday night, Katie said of her first dance: "I was so happy and relieved, I was on cloud nine once we’d finished.

"I was so nervous, because it was our first dance and the Tango is difficult man.

"It’s something that I’ve never done before, obviously but I’m super proud of us actually we got through it and knowing everybody was clapping, the contestants clapping - it just felt incredible."

But now it's onto week two and Katie and Gorka will be dancing the Jive to summer smash Good 4 U by Olivia Rodrigo.

Ahead of her appearance on Strictly's BBC Two spin-off, Katie took to Instagram with a snap of her outfit.

The Hollyoaks actress was rocking a stunning red suit jacket and matching trousers, paired with a black lace bodysuit and black stiletto heels.

" It Takes Two Baby," she shared alongside the image to her thousands of followers.

And the comments came flooding in.

" Gawwwjus," fellow Strictly star John Whaite wrote.

"Can I just say, you look INCREDIBLE," a pal shared.

A fan added: "ABSOLUTELY STUNNING."

"Wow very hot," another commented.

And things are super busy for Katie.

The Rochdale actress, who played Sinead Tinker in Corrie, is currently playing Becky Quentin in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.

The job is leaving her with little rehearsal time due to her work commitments.

"We just got through it, we just had to rehearse around filming, I don’t know how we did it to be fair," Katie told Janette, who swapped dancing on Strictly for hosting It Takes Two.

Gorka added: "I think she’s getting busier by the weeks, the more further we go, the busy she gets."

"I didn’t really think this through," Katie joked. "But, we’re here."
