The 13th series of Strictly Come Dancing launched with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman choreographing the presentation of three new professional dancers, a first performance from the celebrities and the all-important celeb-pro pairings.

Yes, that’s what everyone has been waiting for: to find out who’s dancing with who.

And now we know…

Anton Du Beke couldn't contain his excitement when he was paired with Katie Derham.

"I noticed in rehearsals that she could do all the steps and they were in the right order," Anton said to Tess. "So I thought I'd never get her."

Sportsman Iwan Thomas was so thrilled to be dancing with Ola Jordan, he wrapped her around the back of his body and then cried: "I don't know what I'm doing!"

The pressure was on EastEnders star Kellie Bright immediately when Tess told her that her pro partner, Kevin Clifton has "never been in a dance-off before".
