The stars of Strictly Come Dancing have been pictured outside Buckingham Palace after filming a special feature hosted by the Duchess of Cornwall.
The segment of the BBC dance contest, filmed inside the royal residence, will be aired as part of this year’s Strictly Christmas Special.
Wednesday’s event saw the show’s regular professionals, previous contestants and other members of the local community attend a Tea Dance promoting the benefits of dance and exercise during the process of ageing.
All dressed up for the occasion were Anton Du Beke and Oti Mabuse.
Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood added a splash of colour with his dazzling red shirt.
New head judge Shirley Ballas also opted for a festive red with matching lipstick.
Meanwhile, Karen Clifton chose snowier colours of blue and white.
Dancer Chloe Hewitt matched her dance shoes with an elegant nude gown.
Former contestants Katie Derham and Jeremy Vine enjoyed a reunion with Brendan Cole.
Previous hopeful Judy Murray gave a nod to her Scottish heritage with a streak of purple tartan.
Singer Kimberley Walsh and show regular Pasha Kovalev took a moment to smile for the cameras.
Neil Jones, Janette Manrara and newcomer Dianne Buswell wrapped up in coats to brave the November air.
The dancers took a break from training for the current series of Strictly Come Dancing, which continues this Saturday at 6.50pm on BBC One.
