The countdown to the ballroom is officially on, with Strictly Come Dancing returning to our Saturday nights this autumn.
Strictly’s brand new series begins on Saturday 19 September at 7.25pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, kicking off a new series that will run every weekend through to Christmas.
This year also brings a major change as Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe join Josh Widdicombe to form Strictly’s first-ever trio of presenters, taking charge as a new group of celebrities begins the race for the Glitterball Trophy.
Ahead of the first performance, the class of 2026 have got glam for a brand new photoshoot – check them out below!
