Launch Show
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman welcome 15 celebrities to the Strictly ballroom. John Legend sings in the ballroom, and reigning champions Rose and Giovanni return to dance again.
It’s launch night for the 20th series of Strictly Come Dancing. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are joined by judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse as they welcome 15 celebrities to the Strictly ballroom.
Not to be missed are two incredible performances from our professionals, and we meet four new dancers joining the Strictly family. Multi-award-winning performer John Legend is in the ballroom, and showing our new cast how it’s done, reigning champions Rose and Giovanni perform one of their iconic dances from last series.
Who will the new celebrities be paired with, and can they dance? All will be revealed at the launch of Strictly Come Dancing 2022!
