Strictly Come Dancing star Montell Douglas joked she is marrying her professional dance partner as the pair prepared to take to the ballroom for the first time in the competition.
Strictly has once again kicked off for 2024 after an exciting launch show. Week one sees the celebs and their professional partners team up for their first chance at placing on the leaderboard after performing a routine.
Though the judges will give comments and the celebs will be scored, nobody will be eliminated in the first week. Week two is when the tension will really start to ramp up, and one celebrity will go home for good.
Montell, who is Gladiator Fire, is paired with Johannes Radebe. The dancing duo performed the Foxtrot to Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby by Dinah Washington, as they started their campaign to be crowned winners of the show.

But before they hit the dancefloor, host Claudia Winkleman commented on how glamorous the pair looked, and referred to the pair as "Mojo".
Montell was dressed in a lace and sheer dress as Johannes looked dapper in a white shirt, cream waistcoat, and matching tie teamed with pin-stripped trousers.
"Well, we are getting married," Montell joked as the rest of the Strictly cast laughed with Claudia confirming: "You're all invited."
Viewers will be able to partake when the lines open in week two next Saturday (September 28) and the first elimination of the series will air the night after (Sunday, September 29).
All the action tonight will kick off at 7pm on BBC One, but there will be no results show this weekend.
Currently topping betting odds are X Factor winner Shayne Ward and JLS star JB Gill – though ex-pro dancer Erin Boag has warned that Miranda star Sarah Hadland is also one to watch.
