With the excitement for this year's Strictly Come Dancing building, hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly have teased fans with some behind-the-scenes pictures. The duo, who will return to front the BBC show this autumn, have been posing up a storm for their official photoshoot. "Back with my number 1 #strictly," wrote Tess alongside a boomerang video, to which Claudia replied with a series of heart emojis. She also added another snap showing her neon pink heels, and captioned the post: "Dressing room vibes."

The upcoming series of Strictly will kick off in September and fans of the popular show can expect a few new changes to the series this year. It was recently announced that Motsi Mabuse had been picked to replace long-running judge Darcey Bussell. Motsi has already been a judge on German dance show Let's Dance, and has had years of training as a pro herself. What's more, she's Oti Mabuse's older sister, and already knows many of the pro dancers. The show has also welcomed a new professional dancer to their team - Nancy Xu. The new dancer was a finalist on So You Think You Can Dance in China and a star on hit West End and Broadway show Burn The Floor.
