They say you need some fancy footwork to be a successful footballer, so Susanna Reid and her Strictly Come Dancing partner Kevin Clifton must surely be masters of the beautiful game.

The BBC Breakfast presenter combined both old and new interests on Friday when she got the opportunity to rehearse her latest routine at Crystal Palace FC.

Susanna and Kevin boogied round the penalty area and swept gracefully around the pitch, before she was unable to resist the urge to try out her goal scoring skills.

The 42-year-old has been a massive Crystal Palace fan ever since she was a young girl, after growing up nearby.

And the television presenter looked to be busy relishing the opportunity as she danced on the turf with a football in hand.

Wearing a pair of plain black jogging bottoms and a white T-shirt, Susanna couldn't take the smile off her face as the pair practised their latest dance.

The Croydon-born star also wore the all-important football studs while keeping out the cold in a denim jacket and patterned scarf.

Not one to miss out some glitz and glamour, Susanna also accessorized with a pair of long, silver earrings.

While Kevin looked a little more dressed up for the occasion in a checked shirt, which was teamed with jeans and black-framed glasses.

Susanna tweeted to say: 'Fridays are a challenge (first time in studio) but looking forward dancing this Viennese Waltz to Annie's Song at Elstree today #strictly'.

No one could blame the pair for feeling confident ahead of this weekend's live show, after
Mr Nasty Craig Revel Horwood told them: 'I'm loving your conviction. I think you should give up your day job, you've got it! You're enjoying every minute.'

Delivering an impressive score of 31 for the tango, Darcey Bussell said: 'I'm loving your conviction. I think you should give up your day job, you've got it! You're enjoying every minute.'

Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC1 at 6.30am on Saturday.
