Strictly's Tasha Ghouri dazzles in fluffy blue mini dress for appearance with pro partner Aljaž Škorjanec on It Takes Two

Strictly's Tasha Ghouri put on a dazzling display in a fluffy blue mini dress as she appeared on It Takes Two with her pro partner Aljaž Škorjanec on Monday evening.

Ahead of their interview on the BBC spin-off show, the former Love Island star, 26, shared some Instagram snaps of herself backstage with the professional dancer, 34.

The blonde beauty looked sensational as she put on a leggy display in the stylish ensemble, which featured a plunging neckline.

She paired the textured dress with a pair of gold heels to add inches to her height, before accessorising with an array of chunky gold bangles and earrings to match

Tasha wore her long tresses in a voluminous curled style and opted for a glamorous palette of makeup as she posed next to her Strictly partner.

The reality star seemed to be in very high spirits as she showcased her outfit to her 1.4 million followers, penning in the caption: 'Catch us on it takes two tonight at 6:30pm!!'

Aljaž was also all smiles for the photoshoot, as he cut a smart figure in a white shirt and black trousers, before adding a Poppy.

It comes just after Strictly Come Dancing bosses issued a major update on Amy Dowden after she was forced to pull out of the show this week.

The Welsh ballroom dancer, 34, who is understood to be in remission after battling breast cancer, returned to the show following a two-year absence in September.

Amy was admitted to hospital following a reported collapse at Elstree Studios, the BBC show's Hertfordshire base after suffering a 'medical emergency' backstage during Saturday's live Halloween special.

Sources have since confirmed she will miss week seven of the BBC show, with fellow dancer Lauren Oakley taking her place.

A show spokesperson confirmed: 'Amy Dowden MBE is doing much better and the Strictly family send her love and wish her well.

'She is delighted that fellow Professional Dancer, Lauren Oakley, is able to step in for rehearsals and to perform in Saturday’s show for JB Gill’s Couple’s Choice dance.

'We are all hopeful that Amy will be back to dance with JB next week.'

Moments before her hospital dash, Amy had performed the Foxtrot to Toploader hit Dancing In The Moonlight with her celebrity partner, JLS star JB Gill.

But fans noted the dancer was partially seated during her latest performance.

Lauren will rehearse with JB in Amy's absence after the singer avoided the dance-off, finishing fifth on the Strictly leader-board with a collective score of 32 from show judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel-Horwood and Anton du Beke.

A source told The Sun: 'Lauren will be stepping in today to train with JB. It's unclear when Amy will be back but everyone just wants her to rest and get better.'
