Strictly Come Dancing bounced back with a bang last night and fans were thrilled, but it was Angela Rippon who really got them all talking.
The 78-year-old TV presenter left viewers stunned when she appeared on the launch show in a glittering gold mini-dress. So much so that fans all shared the same opinion.

Speaking in a VT before being paired up Angela joked she was “Angela – Rippin’ up the dancefloor!”
Then she chatted to show hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly and said it felt “weird” to be on the other side 32 years after presenting original show Come Dancing. She also said she was “going to enjoy it”.
Angela admitted she was worried about people’s expectations of her. “I’m going to do what I know I can do, as well as I can, for as long as I can, and not let down the audience, you guys and most importantly whoever my partner’s going to be,” she said.
The presenter is keen to learn an Argentine Tango and is really hoping she can stay in long enough to do it.
On meeting Kai she said she “couldn’t have been happier”. Kai also said he was “absolutely delighted” to have her. He said: “Look at those legs!”
And that was certainly what fans of the show were also looking at!
