Behind the scenes as Strictly couples rehearse together for the first time

Grab the blister plasters, Strictly Come Dancing couples' training has begun.

Oh yes, now that they've got to know who their professional partners are, it's time for the celebs to get down to business and start learning the fancy footwork. After all, it's just a few weeks until they'll be out on that ballroom floor performing to millions...

Luckily for us, in between all of the dancing, the celebs and pros alike are hotfooting it to Twitter to share the experience, giving us a peek at the action...

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC1 on Friday 25th September

Former Strictly star Robin Windsor and more will be at the Radio Times Festival this September.
