Strictly star Angela Rippon stole the show with her incredibly high standing split.
On the BBC show’s launch night, Angela, 78, shocked fans with just how high she lifted her leg over her dance partner Kai Waddington’s shoulder.
Angela’s leg kept going and going as she tried to cover her modesty by pulling her dress down.

After her first dance on the launch night, Angela took social media by storm as hoards of fans took to X to buzz about her racy move.

A second added: “Kudos to Angela Rippon! I can’t even get my leg up that high at 34! Incredible! #strictly”
While a third penned: “Angela putting the leg into legend #Strictly”
Angela recently spoke out on how it feels to be the oldest-ever Strictly contestant.
She told the Standard: “I’m going to wear [being the oldest contestant] as a badge of honour.
“I’ve had so many people with my hair colour say to me: ‘We’re so glad you’re doing it.’
“I had a woman in the checkout at Waitrose, she stopped [me] when I was loading up on the checkout, and she said, ‘You don’t know me, I just want to say, that there’s a feeling among all our friends that women of our age and our hair colour are invisible – you go and make some headlines for us!’”

While a third penned: “wow that was stunning!!”
