TV and radio personality Katie Derham showed off her glitzy dancing outfit at the launch of Strictly Come Dancing 2015.
The former ITV News reader, who lives in a rambling country house near near Horsted Keynes, is best known for presenting the BBC Proms on BBC Two and also presents an afternoon show on BBC Radio 3.
She was at the launch on Tuesday with other celebrities to appear in the 13th series of the show.
Ms Derham said: “I’m extremely excited to be part of such a wonderful show. Strictly Come Dancing is a national treasure.
“I spend hours admiring professional musicians and performers at the Proms and BBC Radio 3, so I’m thrilled to have the chance to throw myself into an equally demanding and beautiful world.
"It will be a totally new experience for me and I can’t wait to get going.”
Ms Derham joins former Brighton-based singer Peter Andre, BBC presenter Jeremy Vine, celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott, BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood, Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote and Eastenders actress Kellie Bright on the show.
