It's the first live show of Strictly Come Dancing 2024, and our professional dancers open it in style with a fabulously fiery group number.
Join Tess and Claudia live from the ballroom as our 15 brand new couples perform their opening routines of the competition. Whilst there is no public vote this week, there is plenty of paddle action from our judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas.
With no-one going home this time, the judges' scores will be carried over to next week, when viewers will have their first chance to vote for their favourites.
