Strictly Come Dancing star Annabel Croft has given fans a closer look at her transformation into Elphaba from Wicked for Musicals Week.
The former professional tennis player turned into the green witch for a Foxtrot with her Strictly dance partner Johannes Radebe. In a clip shared to her Instagram, Croft shows the different stages of her Elphaba transformation, going from having her face painted green to wearing a wig and a green dress embellished with crystals.
Soundtracked to Nina Simone's 'I Put a Spell on You,' the short video captures the different phases of a transformation that required some time in the Strictly makeup chair.

Croft also shared a snap from her performance with Radebe, explaining that dancing to 'For Good' really resonated with them.
"It was such a wonderful evening last night, being able to dance a Foxtrot to such a beautiful and meaningful song from Wicked," she wrote. "The song really resonated with @johannesradebe and I."
