Kara Tointon puts on her dancing shoes and a barely-there dress

Kara Tointon now on track to becoming Strictly Come Dancing's sexiest contestant.

The former Eastenders star sent the flashbulbs into a frenzy as she arrived at the launch show for the new series in a dress that left little to the imagination.

Kara, 27, who played the 'tart with a heart' Dawn Swannn on the soap until last year, flaunted her trim figure in an azure blue frock that was slashed at her left side and pinned daringly together at her hip.
