Lisa Armstrong looked relaxed and happy as she was spotted on Friday, most likely making her way to the BBC Elstree Studios where the first episode of Strictly Come Dancing was being filmed. The BAFTA-winning makeup artist, who is head of hair and makeup on the show, went glam casual in a dress printed with a lips design and suede ankle boots.
The 41-year-old, whose split from Ant McPartlin was announced in January, has previously shared her excitement at returning to the show. She will be reunited with Strictly's professional dancers, including Janette Manrara and Karen Clifton, and will get to know the 15 new celebrity contestants for this year, such as Katie Piper, Faye Tozer and Ashley Roberts. Back in June, a spokesperson for the show confirmed to HELLO!: "The Strictly team are looking forward to getting back together again and Lisa is an important part of that team."

Earlier this week, Lisa shared a photo from the stars' makeup room. Posing alongside celebrity hairstylist Lisa Davey, she captioned the selfie: "And we're back!!" The beauty box seen in the picture was filled with Nars and MAC products, a bottle of Garnier micellar water, what appeared to be a Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist spray, and a variety of makeup brushes as well as cotton buds.
