Love Island legend Tasha, 26, flashed a confident smile as she happily waved at the paparazzi before wizzing away in a black clab.

Her co-star, Towie's Pete looked less excited but managed to muster a thumb's up.

Returning pro dancer Dianne Buswell led the way with comedian Chris McCausland, who wore a stylish Fred Perry jacket.

Tasha has been paired with returning pro Aljaz Skorjanec, and recently said her Love Island boyfriend Andrew Le Page, 29, needn't worry about the Strictly curse.

She said: "He has no worries at all. If anything, he was super-happy and could see the great partnership we had. He came to rehearsals the other day and watched for a little bit.

"Aljaz taught Andrew some dance moves, which was funny.

"Aljaz is so happy with his wife [Janette Manrara] and we went on a double date last night, and had a lovely dinner with their beautiful daughter, Lyra. Andrew’s been so supportive through it all."
