Strictly Come Dancing couple Alja? ?korjanec and Tasha Ghouri have shared a fun video together as they rehearse ahead of the live shows starting.

On Instagram, the pair shared a video of them lipsyncing to an iconic X Factor moment – the audition of The Clique.

In the video, Nicole Scherzinger's voice can be heard saying: "I'm sorry, what is your name as a group?" Aljiaz and Tash then clicked their fingers together as they mimed, "The Clique."

Simon Cowell could then be heard asking: "Click or clique?" with the duo clicking again and miming: "Clique"

Tasha captioned the video, 'Let’s gooo!! Not long until the live show,' along with writing, 'Team Aljtash'.

Alja? is returning to Strictly this year after deciding to leave the series in 2021.

In July, he announced his surprise return to show for its 20th anniversary – a year after welcoming his daughter Lyra with wife Janette Manrara.

Speaking about his return to the dancefloor, Alja? told Metro: "It is very, very special.

"A bit emotional, really, to get back into the ballroom and be amongst all those beautiful people who create the show.

"It's a massive team of producers, people behind the scenes, in front of the camera, and it did really feel like home."

The dancer explained that he decided to return to the show for his wife and his daughter.

"That was the whole reason for coming back," he said.

"I did nine years for myself and for us, and now I get to do it for my beautiful little missus, and my actual missus – also little! It's a very, very special feeling."

Strictly Come Dancing will return on Saturday, September 14 on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
