They are both gearing up to show off their dancing skills for the first time on Strictly Come Dancing.

But Vanessa Feltz and Fiona Fullerton have rather different approaches when it comes to training as they showed in the lead up to dancing contest.

While Vanessa was spotted working up a sweat with her partner James Jordan,  actress Fiona took a rather more laid back attitude with Anton du Beke.

Fiona and Anton took time out of their gruelling schedule to simply enjoy each other's company over a pub lunch.

The former Bond girl and the dancer made the most of their break in a Wiltshire beer garden. 

The 56-year-old — who made no secret of the fact she hoped to be paired with Mr du Beke, 47, in the run-up to last weekend's launch — embraced her new friend, stroking his hair.

Miss Fullerton, who is best known for her role as spy Pola Ivanova in the 1985 James Bond film A View To A Kill, has been rehearsing in a small dance studio in Wanborough, near Swindon.

After taking a quick break for lunch, changing out of her jeans and gilet, the actress returned to the studio to resume practice. 

Meanwhile, at a gym in Hampstead, North London, it was a very different story as fellow contestant Vanessa, 51, worked up a sweat to perfect her cha-cha-cha.

Wearing a dowdy jumper, black leggings and jazz shoes, the BBC Radio London presenter arrived with a bouquet of paper flowers that she and dance partner James Jordan are using as a prop. 

Her extra time in the gym may be down to the fact she has predicted she could end up piling on weight rather than shedding pounds like many past celebrities.

The broadcaster has been turning to food keep up her energy levels as she struggles to balance her work schedule - which involves rising at 3am for her radio show - with training.

Feltz, who has battled with her weight in the past, said: 'I wonder if I will be the only person on Strictly who will put on weight? Everyone said I'll lose weight - so far, if anything, I'm sure I have put weight on.

'I will be the only person to dance on Strictly to put on weight. I'm cream crackered - where will I find comfort? In the arms of the blancmange.'
