The joy and pain of competing on Strictly: Dancers reactions captured backstage show the highs and lows of being on the show
|
We see their performances on TV every week, but it's once the camera's turn off that the real emotions come out.
And Strictly Come Dancing's official Twitter page captures every moment of blood, sweat and tears this year's dancers pour into the competition.
Capturing each dancing celebrity's emotions backstage, the pictures show the relief and the disappointment after the contestants hear their score.

Puppy pout: Meanwhile, Kimberly Walsh is disappointing with her score
Victoria Pendleton couldn't contain her joy as she heard her positive scores and she leaped into the arms of her dance partner Brendan Cole, dressed in her corpse bride outfit for the Halloween themed episode.
But at the same time, Kimberly Walsh showed off her best pout as she licked her wounds when judge Len gave her a bad review, even though she still came into shared second place.
But it was the star of the evening, Louis Smith, who looked the most delighted as he returned backstage after his show-stopping performance.

The behind the scenes photo shows the Olympian mid celebratory dance after he received a score of all nines from the judges.
The Olympian came top of the leader board with 35 points, impressing with his routine to Rihanna's Disturbia, which was described by Darcey as the 'best Tango of the night.'
'I wish the clocks could go back right now so I could have another look at that because it was fabulous,' said Len after his performance.
Dani Harmer, dressed as Velma from Scooby Doo, and dance partner Vincent Simone displayed a careful grin after getting mixed reviews for their Cha Cha Cha.
But Darcey Bussell loved the dance, telling the pair: 'If you can dance that fast and achieve that many moves, then that's just fantastic.'

Nicky Byrne also looked thrilled, after getting some positive critique after harsh words in the past.
Dressed in his mad scientist costume, the former Westlife singer can be seen high-fiving partner Karen Hauer after their successful tango to the theme tune from 80s film Weird Science.
Sid Owen however can be seen laughing off the disappointment after his failed performance, while dance partner Ola Jordan can't hide her emotions ands pulls a pained face.
The EastEnders star had fun with his glitzy Ghostbusters routine, dancing the Cha Cha Cha, but the judges were less then happy with the routine.
Craig described the dance as a 'Halloween nightmare' while Len Goodman criticised the performance as being:'Too safe, you need to go for it more and take risks. If you're going to go down, go down fighting,' he said.
So happy I could twirl: Matthew Vaughn won over the judges with his latest dance
Bad acting: Isa Riley as Disney's Ursula was not too happy with what Craig had to say
Meanwhile Matthew Vaughn, who was saved by the skin of his teeth last week, shocked everyone by getting a standing ovation after his routine.
He celebrated by picking up his partner and twirling her around.
But Lisa Riley looked pretty glum as she received her criticism from Craig after her Charleston.
'You acted well but danced poorly,' he told her to her disappointment.

Got something to hide? Denise van Outen lifts up her skirt, after Len called it 'too short'
Fern Britton and Artem Chigvintsev were left very sad faced, after dancing the American Smooth in ghoulish attire, but not getting any positive feedback from it.
Len was a bit disappointed, saying: 'Fern, I wanted a bit more from you,' while Bruno said: 'It was all a bit too plain, it didn't have the impact that it could have had.'
And Len didn't seem to pleased with Denise van Outen either, who sported a tiny skirt during her saucy dance.
'It you're going to wear a short skirt than you really need to have really fabulous leg action,' he said, after the musical star admitted she tripped up three times during the routine.
Richard Arnold looked seriously ghoulish dressed as a matador as he danced a scary Spanish pasodoble with partner Erin Boa, but it was to no avail.
