Strictly Come Dancing contestants arrived in Blackpool yesterday ahead of tonight’s show which will be broadcast from the town’s famous Tower Ballroom.

The dancers all quickly got into the “seaside spirit” and put on Kiss Me Quick hats as well as souvenir t-shirts and posed for pictures with buckets and spade…

The Tower Ballroom was the original home of Strictly’s forerunner, Come Dancing, and the show has previously been aired from the location in 2004.

And apparently, the contestants will also be dropping in on The Winter Gardens where a special BBC event is being held to encourage people to take part in a “mass dance.”
