STRICTLY DIRTY DANCING

STRICTLY bombshells Gemma Atkinson and Mollie King are set to go head-to-head in a dancefloor sex war.

The curvy Emmerdale star and shapely Saturdays singer have already been handed the steamiest routines for the first live show.

They will battle to outshine each other when they bust their sexiest moves on the BBC blockbuster next Saturday.

It is believed producers deliberately picked explosive dances for the two beauties in a bid to grab viewers.

A show source said: “The first live show is lined up to be a real battle of the blondes.”

Mollie, 30, and AJ Pritchard will do the jive to Good Golly Miss Molly by Little Richard.

And Gemma, 32, and Aljaž Škorjanec will dance the chacha to There’s Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendes.

Fans cannot wait to see the sizzling pair in their skimpy dance outfits. Bob McGowan tweeted: “Gemma Atkinson is the most gorgeous woman on the planet.”

Fifteen couples have been rehearsing ahead of Strictly’s live return on Saturday.

Tricky

Holby City star Joe McFadden will be doing the jive to The Jackson 5’s version of Rockin’ Robin.

Paul Daniels’ widow Debbie McGee and telly chef Simon Rimmer will tackle the tricky paso doble.

Another four couples will dance the waltz. Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez will shimmy to Aretha Franklin’s (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.

This Morning presenter Ruth Langsford is all set to glide out with Anton Du Beke to This Nearly Was Mine by American star Seth MacFarlane.

Scottish comedian Susan Calman and partner Kevin Clifton and Paralympian Jonnie Peacock and Oti Mabuse will also perform the classic dance.

There will only be one tango performed on the night. Entertainer Brian Conley and newcomer Amy Dowden, will glide to Heaven 17’s Temptation.

The two couples performing the foxtrot are former JLS star Aston Merrygold and Janette Manrara, and Good Morning Britain’s Charlotte Hawkins and Brendan Cole.

The others who will do the cha-cha are the Rev Richard Coles with Dianne Buswell, actress Chizzy Akudolu with Pasha Kovalev, and EastEnders star Davood Ghadami with Nadiya Bychkova.

Strictly Come Dancing is returning next Saturday at 6.25pm on BBC One.
