Get ready for Strictly lift off!

The nights are drawing in, the weather has taken a turn for the worse, you’ve switched the heating back on, and there are only 90 days until Christmas. But have no fear, because Strictly is BACK, and it’s bigger, better and more sparkly than ever.

As usual we start the fantastic new series with a double whammy of shows, with tonight’s episode featuring six of our gorgeous couples debuting their dancing prowess in the Strictly Ballroom, and Saturday will see the remaining nine celebrities and their Pro Dancers trip the light fantastic across the dazzling dance floor.

So, draw those curtains, get dressed up in your finest sequinned outfit, open the bubbles and put the canapés on your best serving tray, as the first show of SCD Series 13 begins! 

And don’t forget you can keep up-to-date with all things Strictly Social on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Vine accounts.
