Join Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman for the first night in a live dancing double bill as six couples take to the floor for the very first time. There'll be no public vote this week, but the couples still have to impress the Strictly judges, whose scores will be carried over to next week.
Will all those hours in the training room pay off? Whose nerves will get the better of them? And who will be cha-cha-cha-ing their way to the top of the leader board?
Let's start dancing!.
The show pairs a number of celebrities with professional ballroom dancers who each week compete against each other to impress a panel of judges and the viewing public in order to survive potential elimination. Through telephone voting, viewers vote for whom they would like to stay, the results of the poll being combined with the ranking of the panel of judges.
The show is broadcast live on BBC One on Saturday evenings, and is presented by Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly. The judging panel consists mainly of Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman and Craig Revel Horwood.
