Fellow Strictly recruit Sara Davies responded: “That dress man….. you just look amazing.”
Strictly pro Johannes Radebe remarked: “Isn’t she lovely.”

Confirming that a positive test would only require a 10 day isolation period this time aroun, as opposed to 14 days and automatic elimination last year, Sarah said: “It might be that they could miss a week and still get enough training in to return.
“So that is slightly better news than last year.”
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One this weekend.
