Strictly Come Dancing Season 22

Ah, Strictly Come Dancing—where sequins sparkle, dance floors ignite, and celebrities waltz their way into our hearts!

Let’s step onto the glittering ballroom floor and explore what Season 22 has in store for us:

1. The Grand Return:
   • Strictly Come Dancing is all set to dazzle us once again with its twenty-second series. The anticipation is building like a perfectly choreographed paso doble!
   • Mark your calendars: The launch show is scheduled for September 14, 2024, airing on BBC One. And guess what? The live shows will kick off on September 21—so get ready for those twirls, spins, and maybe a few unexpected lifts
2. Two Decades of Dance:
   • This season marks a milestone—the show’s twentieth anniversary!  Rumor has it that the series might even be filmed from a royal location. Imagine the cha-chas in a castle or the sambas in a palace garden!
   • Whether it’s Buckingham Palace or a secret ballroom hidden behind velvet curtains, we’re in for a treat.
3. Familiar Faces:
   • Our dynamic hosting duo, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, are back to guide us through the sequin-studded journey. Tess with her elegance, Claudia with her wit—it’s a winning combination!
   • And fear not, dance enthusiasts: Janette Manrara and Fleur East will return to host Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. The backstage gossip, the rehearsals, and those heart-to-heart chats—they’ve got it covered.
4. Judges’ Verdict:
   • The formidable judging panel remains intact:
     • Craig Revel Horwood: The master of sharp critiques and even sharper suits.
     • Motsi Mabuse: The queen of rhythm and infectious enthusiasm.
     • Shirley Ballas: The ballroom legend who knows her foxtrots from her Viennese waltzes.
     • Anton Du Beke: The pro dancer turned judge, bringing his charm and experience to the table.
5. Dancing Pros:
   • The professional dancers are back, ready to sweep us off our feet. Some familiar faces return, while others take a graceful bow:
     • Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Graziano Di Prima, Amy Dowden, and more—all gearing up for those showstopping routines.
     • Sadly, Giovanni Pernice won’t be gracing the dance floor this season due to misconduct allegations. His absence leaves a cha-cha-shaped hole, but the show must go on.
     • And guess who’s making a triumphant comeback after a two-year hiatus? The dashing Aljaž Škorjanec! His paso doble is bound to leave us breathless.
6. Celebrities in the Spotlight:
   • The lineup of celebrity contestants promises surprises, drama, and maybe a few unexpected twirls:
     • Jamie Borthwick: The EastEnders actor ready to tango.
     • Tom Dean: Olympic swimmer diving into the dance world.
     • Montell Douglas: Olympic sprinter, bobsledder, and Gladiators star—talk about versatility!
     • And many more, each with their own rhythm and story to tell.

So, whether you’re a seasoned Strictly superfan or a newbie taking your first cha-cha steps, get ready for a season filled with glitz, glamour, and those magical moments when music and movement collide.

And remember, even if we can’t score the dances ourselves, we can still cheer from our couches. Let’s raise our imaginary paddles and give them all a perfect 10!
