Emma Barton, 42, flaunted her figure in a revealing dress as she took to the dance floor with Anton du Beke. The couple, who will be performing the Jive during tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing live show, put on a glamorous display as they stepped out together. Emma fully embraced the sequins and dared to bare a glimpse of side boob in her thigh skimming dress. The EastEnders actress’ costume barely concealed her curves, which were partially covered by shimmering tassels.
“Emma’s tall, gorgeous and talented. She’s an absolute dream, and I’ve got to be honest, younger than I’m used to.”
He added: “And she’s got her own teeth. That’ll do for me.”
In previous years, the performer was paired with This Morning’s Ruth Langsford, 59, Ann Widdecombe, 71 and Susannah Constantine, 57.
Anton even apologised on the launch show after he couldn’t contain his excitement after he discovered he would be dancing with Emma.
Strictly host Claudia Winkleman, mused: “Anton, your reaction was outstanding.”
“I know it seemed a bit of an overreaction but if you’ve been through what I’ve been through…I can’t begin to tell you,” he replied.
“Oh, I’ve gone all hot,” he added, but he did not mention any past co-stars by name.
Presenter Claudia pointed out some of his former dance partners could be watching at home.
“Well let’s leave it there because they might have tellies,” she said.
Anton also gushed about Emma while updating his 144,000 Instagram followers on their training progress.
He enthused: “I can’t imagine things going any better. I’m seriously impressed with @TheEmmaBarton’s progress… and it’s not just the Jive talkin’!”.
