Strictly Come Dancing

Celebrities pair up with professional dancers to compete in a ballroom dancing competition.

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.

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!

Our 15 new couples return to the Strictly ballroom. They've broken in their dancing shoes and are now performing live to keep their place in the competition. This week, not only do they have to impress the judges but also the viewers at home, as for the first time this series, the public vote will open. One couple must leave the competition this weekend.

The first results show of the series opens with an incredible group number from our professional dancers. Entertaining us all in the ballroom is the legendary Robbie Williams. Our 15 couples nervously await the results of the first public vote. Tonight, the two lowest-scoring couples will go head-to-head in the first dance-off of 2022. The competition has just started, but for one couple it will be the end of their journey. Who will the judges save?

It's time to roll out the red carpet as Strictly Come Dancing takes you to the movies. Opening the show, our professional dancers bring Casa Madrigal to the ballroom in an epic Encanto-inspired routine. Our remaining couples take their inspiration from the silver screen, dancing to impress the judges and you at home ahead of our second results show of the series.
