Rylan Clark-Neal made his first appearance on Strictly Come Dancing sister show It Takes Two alongside Zoe Ball - receiving heaps of praise after his debut.

The new series kicked off on Monday night on BBC One.

Clark-Neal was confirmed as a new host for the series earlier this year, and last month he explained how he and Ball will be splitting presenting duties by dividing each week's episodes between them.

On Fridays, the duo will unite for an hour-long special.

To mark the start of the series though, Clark-Neal and Ball hosted the first episode together and viewers were thrilled with the pair.
