Tamzin Outhwaite flashes her legs while taking on a lift with partner Nikita Kuzmin as cast pose in group shot in teaser for Strictly Christmas special

Strictly Come Dancing may have come to an end over the weekend with Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell taking home the Glitterball Trophy.

But fans won't have too long to wait until the next instalment of glamour and sequins as the Strictly Christmas Special will air on December 25.

And on Wednesday some teaser images were released showing this year's celebrities taking to the dance floor.

One shot saw Tamzin Outhwaite flashing her toned legs as she took on a daring lift with her partner Nikita Kuzmin.

She will go up against comic Josh Widdicombe, model Vogue Williams, racing driver Billy Monger, sprinter Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and drag queen Tayce in the special.

Emma Bunton will also perform on the BBC1 show on Christmas Day which is airing at 3.55pm 

Tamzin looked festive in a green dress while Nikita was dressed in an all-red ensemble.

Meanwhile Vogue dazzled in a frilly red number which she wore with strappy glittery heels. 

It comes after Tamzin revealed what she really thinks of her professional partner Nikita as she prepares for the Special. 

The actress, 54, will be joined on the show by Vogue, who shared her festive family plans in a new interview with the cast on Monday. 

During the show, the six couples perform their routines to impress the judges and the studio audience votes for their favourite. 

Speaking ahead of the special, Tamzin shared her excitement to dance with Nikita, saying: 'We call him Prince Charming in the house. 

'He just has the hair and face and the body and everything, he looks like Prince Charming.'

Vogue, who shares Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and Otto, two, with her husband Spencer Matthews revealed her plans for Christmas. 

She said: 'PJs in the morning, matching PJs with my kids, if possible. Then I always choose a Christmas Day outfit, which I probably get into for about an hour and a half, and then I get back into my PJs.

'We try and do a little bit of dancing. The kids love music. I don't think any of us in our house are dancers but it's all about the vibe.' 

Judge Motsi Mabuse added: 'Christmas in our house is all about family, food, and fun!

'We wake up early, open presents together, and spend the day cooking a big feast while listening to Christmas music. 

'One unusual tradition? We always end the day with a little family dance in the living room.'

Speaking of his traditions, Josh said: 'I am insistent about sequence and turn taking with present giving. I manage to lose all fun.' 

In the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special, each of the six couples will perform a festive fuelled routine in the hope of impressing the judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Head Judge Shirley Ballas, and the voting studio audience.
