Strictly’s Angela Scanlon carries a £2,000 Louis Vuitton Keepall as she makes a stylish early morning arrival at dance rehearsals ahead of the first live show

Angela Scanlon arrived in style at dance rehearsals in London in the early morning on Monday, ahead of Strictly Come Dancing’s first live show.

The Irish TV presenter, 39, was carrying a £2,000 Louis Vuitton Keepall and a mug when she arrived at 8am with her professional partner Carlos Gu, 39.

Angela turned heads in a leopard print blouse with long sleeves and an exaggerated collar.

The former Robot Wars host paired the trendy top with black wide-leg jeans, which she rolled up at the hem to put her brown mules on full display.

Carlos stood out in a bright green shirt, worn over a plain white T-shirt and gray jeans, while he also carried a designer bag – a £2,500 Christion Dior bag.

The hit BBC show will return to screens from September 16, when this year’s celebrities will be paired with their professional partners for the first time, with the first live shows starting on September 23.

The series, presented by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, will run for 13 weeks and conclude with the live finale on December 16.

Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas will all return to the judging panel when the show returns.

It comes after Strictly Come Dancing risks another ‘fix’ row as it emerged Angela trained as a dancer and even worked as a professional on an American show.

It was revealed that Angela was a trained dancer with the O’Shea Irish Dance Company in 2001, which saw her perform all over the world.

She saw her work professionally before then landing a role as a dancer in an American show.

She performed in the Irish Thunder dance show as Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia.

But after it was announced she was competing, she said she had never done “one of these dances in her life” – referring to the Latin and Ballroom she will have to perform.

She said: ‘I’ve never done one of these dances in my life, apart from a drunken jive at a family wedding. So it definitely feels like there’s room to learn and really push myself.”

‘Look, I’m not particularly fit. I have no idea how my pelvic floor will respond to that level of jumping!’

Angela, who is married to husband Roy Horgan, shares two daughters Ruby Ellen, five, Marnie Fae, 19 months.
