Angela Scanlon has shared a candid video after spending her first day on the set of Strictly Come Dancing ahead of the new series.
The Your Home Made Perfect presenter, who was revealed as a contestant for this year's competition earlier this month, took to her Instagram to tease her fans about what's to come and even gave a candid insight into how she's feeling about joining the show.
Angela captioned the video: "And so it begins…" as she told the camera: "I've just gotten home from my first day of STRICTLY. Not official, no training, no partner obviously just yet. But heels all day and enormous glitter balls and confetti cannons and what I imagine is a very small taser of what I'm about to embark upon.
The 39-year-old continued: "And you know what? Even though I feel a little bit sick, I actually think it's wildly exciting and yeah, I'm going to need a comedown I don't know how people relax after doing that.

Given Angela said she wasn't rehearing, it's likely the TV presenter was filming some VT footage for the opening show of the Ballroom and Latin competition. We can't wait to watch!
Fans took to the mother-of-two's comments section to share their excitement about her having her first day. One person wrote: "I AM SO EXCITED!! Cannot wait to see you in strictly. Your humour has pulled me out of some mental ruts this year!"
A second commented: "With your spirit you are gonna kill it! My ballroom dancer mate said think your ligaments are connected with oil and smile. I will be voting for ya." A third meanwhile said: "You're already my favourite," as a fourth added: "You will be fantastic."

"Do they do flesh-coloured sports bras? Well – there's only one way to find out, right!? Now I'm panicking a bit... but also secretly thrilled about the prospect of all that glitter. Let's go!"
