Now we know the contestants of this year's Strictly Come Dancing, we can finally look forward to the series starting and getting to see them dance their hearts out.

The show is set to begin in late October, but before then, star of the series Clara Amfo is giving us a sneak peek at the preparation process.

Radio 1 DJ Clara was announced as a celebrity contestant in early September and said at the time:

"As we know this year has been a real challenge and escapism through dancing is something I know we all enjoy, so to be taught by a pro and live a fantasy is something that I can’t wait to fully embrace, see you on the dancefloor!”

It seems the broadcaster is diving right into the Strictly experience, and that includes getting covered in sequins.

Clara shared a behind the scenes snap to her social media from inside Strictly's wardrobe department. In the photo, she can be seen surrounded by all sorts of garments and posing with a piece of gold material.

In the second image in the post, Clara can be seen taking a selfie with a glittery and golden wall. Clearly, she's well into the Strictly spirit already. We can't wait to see her take to the dancefloor.

In other Strictly news, Bruno Tonioli has appeared on TV this week, explaining his newly-shaped role in the series.

Given he’s unable to take part in this year’s series from the London studio, instead Bruno will appear via video link.

“I will watch the show and then we’ll do a segment which will be shown on the results show – it’s like another view,” Bruno explained in an interview on Good Morning Britain.

“It wouldn’t be right for me to interfere in the judging process because I’m not there. There’s things you see when they’re 8ft away from you. Craig, Shirley, Motsi know exactly what they’re doing.

“[It will be] my point of view, overall, pointing out this and that.. I’m glad that I’m able to do it.”

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One.
