Strictly Come Dancing's new star left 'crying' by colleague as they detail 'pinch me' moment
Strictly Come Dancing viewers are welcoming two new professionals to the line-up this year, Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon.
The wait is almost over for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing as a fresh batch of celebrities prepare to make their debut on the dancefloor next month.
Last week, the full line-up was announced, including soap stars, sports legends and even a Vogue model, although it's yet to be confirmed which professional dancer they'll be matched with.
However, the pros appear to be in full preparation mode as they've been in rehearsals for the past few weeks, welcoming newcomers Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon.
On Wednesday, Alexis was left highly emotional as her co-star, Vito Coppola, decided to offer the female professionals a sweet treat for their hard work.
Sharing a clip of himself surprising his fellow dancers a Ferrero Rocher each, Alex reshared the video on her Instagram stories as she wrote: "I'm crying", followed by a tearful emoji.

It seems as though this week has been full of memorable moments for Alexis as she attended her first movie premiere with Nadiya Bychkova.
Posting a photo of them alongside one another, she wrote: "Pinch me moment [sic] first movie premiere!"
It wasn't long before people commented on the snap with one person saying: "You both look gorgeous, looks like you both had the best time! Xxx"
Someone else wrote: "So fun!! What a cool experience!" Another fan added: "Just love your dress [sic] hope you both had the best time."

While another person commented: "Wow! You look stunning" One shared: "You & Nadiya both looked stunning!!!"
Alexis' outing with Nadiya follows the latter's terrifying hospital ordeal last week when she fell during rehearsals and hurt her back.
Sharing an update with her fans after the incident, 35-year-old Nadiya assured people she was ok but admitted it was a scary experience.
She wrote: "I was really worried for a while and I was so thankful to the Strictly family and medical team who really looked after me."

The Strictly star revealed she had to lie still for a few hours, but after she was given the all-clear following an X-ray scan, she was sent home.
Nadiya finished the post adding: "I've got some physio today but I will be back on that dance floor soon and I'll be ready to shine and sparkle in the new series of the biggest show on TV. I can't wait for you to see it. Keep dancing!"
