A somber Angela Scanlon arrived at Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals on Wednesday after being reported to police for recklessly dancing in a moving car.
The One Show presenter, 39, apologized after footage emerged on her Instagram of her dancing and leaning out of the rear window without wearing a seatbelt.
Angela’s professional dance partner Carlos Gu, 39, arrived with a bouquet of flowers in hand, after sources told MailOnline that the presenter, who has 318,000 followers, is likely to receive a warning from show bosses over her behaviour.
Angela failed to crack a smile as she headed to rehearsals in North London with Carlos.
The pair will perform the jive from Trouble by Shampoo for Strictly’s first live show on Saturday.

The rehearsals come a day after Angela was reported to police after the video obtained by MailOnline was uploaded to her Instagram account before being hastily deleted.
Angela said: ‘I definitely made the wrong decision when I filmed this video. I came home from rehearsals feeling giddy with excitement.
“That’s not an excuse because what I did was stupid and I’m sorry I let my excitement get the better of my judgment.”
In the clip, Angela can be heard laughing as she performs the dangerous sequence while the car travels at high speed.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Angela thought she was laughing and pretended she was on Strictly.
‘But leaning out of a moving car is incredibly dangerous and she should know better.
‘Her place on Strictly will not be in jeopardy, but she will be warned about her behavior in the future.’
Nick Simmons, CEO of RoadPeace, the national charity for road accident victims, said: ‘Every day, around five people are killed and more than 60 people are seriously injured on Britain’s roads.
‘Driving is a privilege, not a right. That privilege comes with a great responsibility for safety, but unfortunately many road users overlook this important fact.
Apologies: Angela said: ‘I definitely made the wrong decision when I filmed this video. I came home from rehearsals feeling giddy with excitement.”

‘It is very disappointing when celebrities, who have a major influence on others, behave in a way that fails to recognize the importance of using the road safely and the enormous risks of distracted driving.’
A spokesperson for Hertfordshire Police said: ‘Hertfordshire Police have received a report from a member of the public regarding a woman not wearing a seatbelt in a moving vehicle in Borehamwood.’
Angela made a promising start to her Strictly debut last Saturday, winning praise from the judges for her Tango routine to the Miley Cyrus song Prisoner.
Anton de Beke said: ‘The drama, the intensity, the involvement was wonderful.’
And Craig Revel Horwood added that although her arms were ‘a little bit loose’, Angela’s attacks were ‘fantastic’.

Angela wrote on Instagram afterwards: ‘Week one DONE!!! I just had a bowl and a very small lie. My head is spinning and I’m not entirely sure what the hell happened.
‘What a night. Everyone was incredible. I literally forgot how to talk. I was so nervous/stunned, so far out of my comfort zone, so exposed, so ladylike.
‘But I loved every second and thank you all for the messages and comments on our TANGO!!
“When I heard we were doing it I almost threw up, but actually I loved being fierce and moody and fiery.”
Angela shares two young daughters Ruby, five, and Marnie, one, with husband Roy Horgan, who she married in 2014.
As well as The One Show, which she has hosted since 2015, Angela has also hosted the BBC shows Robot Wars and Your Home Made Perfect, and is also a regular presenter on Virgin Radio.
