Dust off your dancing shoes… Strictly is back!

Opening the 17th series with a bang, queen of pop Kylie Minogue will perform a show-stopping medley of some of her biggest hits, alongside a dazzling routine from our professional dancers. Tess and Claudia will roll out the red carpet for the class of 2019 as this year’s celebrities head to the Strictly ballroom for the very first time, ready to find out which professional dancer they’ll be paired with on their journey towards the famous Glitter Ball trophy.

New judge Motsi Mabuse will join Bruno, Craig and Shirley as they get their first peek at 2019’s line up, and all four judges are set to perform with the professional dancers in an unmissable group number. The launch show will also see the celebrities take to the floor for the very first time in a spectacular group dance, as well as a musical performance from Mark Ronson and Yebba. Show less
