Strictly Come Dancing 2019 professionals share unearthed pics from before they were famous

AJ Pritchard, Nadiya Bychkova and the 2019 cast of professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing have opened up their family photos albums to share childhood snaps with fans of the BBC show.

The 24-year-old British dancer, who is paired with YouTube star Saffron Barker, 19, in the current series, can be seen as a young performer dressed in smart ballroom attire as he competes in a glitzy dancing competition.

Another throwback pictures captures 30-year-old Ukrainian dancer Nadiya in her Latin dancing finery.

The leggy beauty, who has been paired with former England goalkeeper David James, 49, kicked her toned pins high in the air while dancing with her smartly-dressed partner.

Strictly fans will also get to see fan favourites Giovanni Pernice, 29, Kevin Clifton, 36, and Neil Jones, 37, who has been partnered with a celebrity for the first time this series, as cheeky children and awkward adolescents.

Photographs also show married couple Aljaž Škorjanec, 29 and Janette Manrara, 35, in their younger years.

The former ballroom and Latin champions, who have all become stars in their own right – turning novice celebrity dancers into stellar performers, will tell their own stories in a new TV documentary which airs this weekend.

Take a look at Strictly Come Dancing 2019 professionals before they starred in the popular BBC show.

Strictly The Professionals will air this Saturday 14 September at 7pm.
