Strictly pros look unrecognisable as they become Ken and Barbie for Movie Week
TWO of the Strictly Come Dancing professionals are set to blow fans away with their transformation into Barbie and Ken for Movie Week.
Nikita Kanda’s partner Gorka Marquez will take the lead as Ken in the professionals’ ensemble dance to Dance The Night Away from blockbuster Barbie, alongside fellow pro Dianne Buswell as the famous blonde.
Wearing a glossy wig, a gingham patterned 1950s cocktail-style dress, and pink heels to match – Dianne looked sensational.
A dead-ringer for Ryan Gosling, Gorka even had the ‘Ken’ underwear strap showing over his jeans.
Getting ready to send audiences at home into overdrive, he went topless – flashing his impressive abs.
Talking about her dance partner, Nikita told The Sun: “I mean, Gorka looks great.
“His outfit looks amazing and he looks exactly like Ryan Gosling in the film!”
This comes after Jody Cundy warned that she could miss this weekend’s performance after he was rushed to hospital at 4am.
Speaking on It Takes Two about his ordeal, Jody said: “It’s been a week of highs and lows…I was really confident that I could perfect everything for Saturday.
“I got home on Tuesday night and took my leg off and was like ‘oh, that’s quite sore’.
“I didn’t really think too much of it and cleaned it, bathed it and made sure it was all ok.
“I got up at 4am and looked at my leg, it was warm, swollen and I was like ‘that’s getting infected’.”
Following their appearance on Strictly’s It Takes Two, Jowita Przystal took to her Instagram following their appearance and posted an update.
She said: “Thank you so much for all your lovely messages and support.
“Staying positive is the key and we really hope we can perform for you guys this routine cause it means a lot to us.
“Sending lots of love! Team wheels and heels.”
