Strictly Come Dancing waltzes back onto our screens in the autumn for what promises to be an "extra special" series as the show turns 20.
Of course, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be back at the helm as hosts, while Shirley Ballas heads up the judging panel, featuring Craig Revel-Horwood, Anton Du Beke, and Motsi Mabuse. As the BBC slowly announces the celebrity line-up, find out what the show has up its sleeve for the new season.
Special one-off episode
As well as the upcoming series, Strictly will mark its 20th birthday with an "unmissable" one-off episode, which comes to BBC One and iPlayer later this year.
The episode promises a "journey through 20 years of unforgettable entertainment featuring iconic performances and plenty of heart-warming interviews with past celebrity stars, professional dancers, and judges too," according to the BBC.
The show will 'go all out'
Pro dancer Karen Hauer said the show will "go all out" for the milestone series. "I'm pretty sure they'll go all out and I can't wait for it," she told HELLO! in an exclusive interview. "Every year we get such incredible celebrities and even if you don't know them at the time, they become household names eventually because Strictly is such a massive show and it launches your career forward even more."
The 42-year-old added: "I know that they definitely have some good things up their sleeve."
New twists and turns
Fans can also expect to see some new "twists and turns" in the upcoming season, according to Shirley.
Chatting with HELLO! on the red carpet of the TRIC Awards in June, the ballroom dancer revealed what she's most looking forward to about the new series. "I'm most excited to let you all see what the BBC has come up with," she said. "The show will always be tweaked, never completely changed. They'll be twists and turns and maybe a few more different themed weeks."
Aljaž Škorjanec's return
After a two-year break, fan favourite pro dancer Aljaž Škorjanec is returning to the ballroom floor for the 20th anniversary series.
The Slovenian dancer, who's married to It Takes Two host and former pro Janette Manrara, said he "could not be more ecstatic" to be reunited with his Strictly family.
"This year is such a special one for this legendary show, I can’t wait to be a part of it and make my return to the dancefloor," said the dancer, who welcomed his first baby, Lyra, with Janette in July last year.
"I had an absolute ball during my nine-year stint on Strictly, during my time away I became a parent, which has been an exciting challenge in itself and now I'm ready to experience the Strictly magic again," he continued, adding: "It feels so right to be coming back, I missed the fun, glitter and the judges of course and I hope to make my daughter Lyra proud!"
Strictly pro dancers
Strictly favourites Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden, and Karen Hauer will all reprise their roles as pro dancers in the upcoming series. They'll be joined by Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Kai Widdrington, and Nancy Xu.
Rounding out the pro line-up are Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola.
Graziano Di Prima and Giovanni Pernice will not be reprising their roles in the new season after allegations about their behaviour on the show.
Strictly release date
The BBC has yet to reveal exactly when the series will return, but we do know that the launch show will take place in September. The programme usually airs from September to December each year, so we'd expect the same from the upcoming season.
