Strictly Come Dancing champ Darren Gough goes red-to-head with Rod Stewart's ex in a dazzling flame-coloured suit.
Beefy bowler Darren, 35, and dance partner Lilia Kopylova hope to repeat their surprise triumph in a Christmas Special of the mega-hit BBC show. But they face serious competition in the slinky shape of Rachel Hunter, 36, and Brendan Cole. Rod's onetime missus, a ballet dancer for 12 years, finished fourth in a US version of the show.
Also competing are last week's runnerup Colin Jackson, third-placed Zoe Ball and former heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield. The five couples dance to festive tunes in the Christmas Eve show, hosted by Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly.
The regular judges' scathing verdicts make up half the score and the studio audience the rest. The programme was recorded on Monday but results are secret. A source said: "It was truly magical".
