Nick Knowles tenderly hugged his fiancée Katie Dadzie as filming for the Strictly Come Dancing launch show kicked off in London on Wednesday.

Television presenter Nick, 61, wore a blue suit with a pink shirt while Katie, 34, looked glamorous in a bridal white off-shoulder top and matching skirt. The BBC flagship show has been plagued for months by allegations of 'bullying' and abuse by former professionals Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima to their celebrity partners Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott. Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley and Michelle Tsiakkas complete the line up.
