WATCH: The trailer for the new Dirty Dancing will leave you cringing

Anna O'Rourke

Might be time to put Baby in the corner.

Following the recent release of the first images from this year’s Dirty Dancing TV remake, a thirty-second trailer for the film has appeared online.

Sadly, it looks like the gritty coming-of-age classic that we all grew up with has been watered down for television audiences.

Between the apparent lack of chemistry between the leads and the serious High School Musical/ The Last Song vibes we’re getting, we’re not feeling it.

Take a look for yourself.

Also, yes, that is Abigail Breslin of Little Miss Sunshine fame.

Its like the cute girl who stole our hearts while dancing provocatively in a pageant has grown up to steal some way older lad’s heart while dancing provocatively on her holidays, and we can’t cope.

On the plus side, it looks like we’ll get to find out what Grace from Will and Grace, the mum from Eight Simple Rules and Nicole Scherzinger are up to, which is nice.

The TV special is set to air on ABC in the US on 24 May.
