Nadiya Bychkova and Dianne Buswell greeted onlookers with a cheerful wave as they led the professionals to another day of Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals in Camden on Wednesday.
Nadiya, 34, looked lovely in the set which she wore under an unbuttoned blue linen jacket and she paired with trainers and white socks.
The professional dancer wore her sunglasses low on her nose bridge and carried a shopping bag from Olivia Rubin.
Meanwhile, Dianne, 35, wore a cute white Adidas crop top with green detailing matched with fully green frilly shorts.
She wore a pair of white trainers featuring some pink and she carried a large brown handbag and lightly red-tinted sunglasses.
Michelle Tsiakkas, 28, looked effortlessly cool in a red sports bra and a form-fitting pair of high-waisted black trousers.
She accessorised with a stylish pair of black sunglasses and she grinned as she raised high a peace sign.
She carried two bags: a black leather handbag and a warm grey tote bag decorated with a Vincent Van Gogh painting.
Gorka Marquez, 33, showed off his bulging biceps in a stylish and baggy blue and white sweater vest.
He wore wide black shorts and mid-length white socks with a white pair of Adidas trainers and brown sunglasses.
In January, Gorka announced that he was joining the Spanish version of Strictly, Bailando Con Las Estrellas, as a judge.
The name of the programme, which began in 2018, translates directly to ‘Dancing With The Stars’, the name of America’s version of Strictly Come Dancing.
Kai, 28, headed to rehearsals on a Lime bike, donning all black and carrying a Starbucks iced frappé.
Carlos Gu, 31, looked stylish in a cropped warm grey shirt with matching headphones, cropped green jeans, and pitch black sunglasses.
Strictly 2023’s co-winner Vito Coppolla, 31, looked handsome in a baggy CB T-shirt and baggy blue jeans.
He smiled as he pulled on the second strap of his backpack, with a small cup of Caffè Nero coffee in hand.
Vito, who was listening to music through earbuds to get in the zone before rehearsals, smiled and gave a thumbs up, showing off his stylish gold rings.
Johannes Radebe, 37, looked lovely in a brown and white cardigan covered in holes and a large bag covered in a cowhide-look material.
Luba Mushtuk, 34, smiled in a baggy black Sain London T-shirt which she wore with black leggings and thin black trainers.
Katya Jones, 35, smiled as she headed up the stairs of Cecil Sharpe House, her face obscured by a black baseball cap.
She wore a frilly yellow shirt under a black jacket and carried a large light blue bag with black designs.
Katya’s ex-husband Neil Jones, 42, arrived with Aljaz Skorjanec, 34, and the two men enjoyed some conversation.
Neil, who was married to Katya from 2013 to 2019 and now has a child with Love Island star Chyna Mills, 25, laughed with Aljaz who wore a bright baseball cap.
She followed in Vito’s lead with a Starbucks frappé and wore large hooped earrings, a black backpack, and white trainers.
The pros stepping out comes just after Strictly was thrown into more crisis on Monday as backstage staff branded the scandal-plagued show ‘toxic and cruel’.
The BBC show has been engulfed by drama since Giovanni Pernice was suspended after his celebrity partner Amanda Abbington accused him of abusive behaviour, saying he was ‘cruel and mean.’ He denies the claims.
It was followed by Graziano Di Prima’s sacking last month over reports he verbally and physically abused Zara McDermott during rehearsals. Graziano has apologised for kicking his former partner and added other allegations do not align with ‘how he remembers it.’
And now, according to The Observer, production workers at the hit dance series have alleged they were grilled on their ‘sex lives.’
One complained that ‘talented co-workers were treated with cruelty,’ while another added that the workplace environment on the show eight years ago was ‘tense, toxic, uncomfortable.’
One then told the publication how they had been subjected to ‘sexualised comments’ including queries about their sex life.
A spokesperson for the BBC told the publication: ‘The welfare of our crews working on each series of Strictly is always of paramount importance to us.
‘We act speedily when any concerns are raised, and we have thorough, effective and longstanding processes to manage them. We do not recognise the claims relating to a negative workplace culture.’
