Strictly Come Dancing

Get ready to staaaaart dancing! Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present NTA and Bafta Award-winning Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One.

Tonight’s show brings us the first live episode featuring an amazing group number from our professional dancers, kicking off what promises to be a spectacular series.

Since the glamorous launch show where the pairings were revealed, our celebrities and their professional partners have had two weeks to rehearse their first routine. Tonight, the 15 couples take to the Strictly ballroom to perform live in front of our fabulous four judges: Head Judge Shirley Ballas, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mobuse.

The judges will score each couple for the first time, but luckily there will be no farewells this week. Instead their scores will be carried over to next weekend, when the viewers get the chance to vote for their favourite couple.
