Week 1

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present the first live show of Strictly Come Dancing 2022. Back with a bang, the series opens with a glittering group routine from our professional dancers and four incredible judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas.

Fifteen celebrities and their Strictly partners have been perfecting their routines in the training room and are hoping to wow our panel and you at home with their first live performance of the series. There is no public vote, but the judges still have their paddles. Their scores tonight will be carried over to next week, when viewers will have their chance to vote for their favourite couple. Get ready to tell your feather step from your fleckerl - Strictly is back!
