'Strictly' Girls Bring Glamour To Press Launch

Abbey Clancy, Rachel Riley and Sophie Ellis-Bextor helped add an extra touch of sparkle to the 'Strictly Come Dancing' press launch on Tuesday night.

The trio of glamourpusses looked fabulous in their ballroom frocks as they took to the red carpet at the event held at the show's new studios in Elstree, London.

'Countdown' maths whizz Rachel led the pack in a Marilyn Monroe inspired dress, complete with ringlets in her hair.

Earlier this week, she admitted she fears the hit BBC ballroom show has a shelf-life, as it will run out of top-notch celebrities willing to compete.
