Victoria Pendleton, Kimberley Walsh and Denise Van Outen show off in tassels at Strictly Come Dancing launch


Hot to foxtrot! Victoria Pendleton, Kimberley Walsh and Denise Van Outen show off in tassels at Strictly Come Dancing launch 


It's a show that is famed for it's outfits as well as it's talent, and tonight (Tuesday) the ladies of Strictly Come Dancing proved why.
Victoria Pendleton, Kimberley Walsh and Denise Van Outen showed off their incredible figures at the launch of the series in London, and their outfits just so happened to be drenched in tassels.
Pendleton, 31, arrived at the event wearing a barely-there glitzy gold outfit, and just so happened to be carrying her gold medals too.

She was matching Walsh in the outfit department, as she too chose to wear a gold ensemble that featured cut-out detailing.
As Pendleton smiled for the cameras and held up her latest achievements, it was clear to see that the brunette didn't need to hold her stomach in.
She teamed her tasseled garment with gold strapped shoes and completed her look with statement earrings.
Girls Aloud singer, Walsh, didn't show off as much of her stomach but did flash her leg with a thigh-high split.

Her hair had been perfectly blowdried into huge bouncy curls and as she posed with her hand on her hip, the 30-year-old star looked excited to be there.
She was followed on the red carpet by Denise Van Outen who looked simply stunning in a silver tasseled dress.
The mother-of-one wore her blonde hair in a side ponytail and sported red lipstick as she flashed a huge grin for photographers.

The mother-of-four was followed by Fern Britton who stood out in an off-the-shoulder purple dress and gold shoes.
The TV presenter looked particularly pleased with her figure in the tasseled and sequin-covered garment which she teamed with silver earrings and a huge smile.
Someone who opted against wearing tassels was 36-year-old Lisa Riley, who wore a blue sparkly dress instead.
