The 20th anniversary of Strictly Come Dancing shines bright with a star-studded lineup! Meet our dance floor warriors, including the iconic Go.Compare man and a trailblazing blind contestant! #Strictly2024

It's that time of year again, folks—Strictly Come Dancing is back, and it’s dazzling us for its 20th anniversary! This year's lineup is a glittering medley of talent, featuring the likes of comedian Chris McCausland, DIY SOS star Nick Knowles, and Olympic gold medallist Sam Quek. With the return of Tasha Ghouri and familiar faces like Paul Merson, fans are in for a treat as these celebrities twirl their way into our hearts (and possibly into scandal territory)! In a thrilling twist, we also welcome the first-ever blind contestant to the show, adding an extraordinary layer of inspiration to this beloved competition.

Strictly has always been about glamour and grace, but it’s never entirely free of drama—just like a high-stakes tango, there’s bound to be a few toe-stepping scandals along the way! From fiery training sessions to glittery dresses that can turn heads, the stage is set not just for competitive dancing but for some jaw-dropping surprises. How will these contestants handle the pressure of rigorous rehearsals along with lots of sequins and social media scrutiny? The excitement is palpable, and let’s just say, the odds are ever in favour of a few underdog surprises!

As fans eagerly anticipate the show’s grand return to BBC One this autumn, predictions on who will snag the coveted Glitter Ball trophy are already sweeping the nation. Will the charming Go.Compare man steal the show with his slick footwork? Or will Sam Quek’s athletic prowess lead her to triumph? Either way, the speculation is almost as delightful as the show itself, keeping viewers hooked and on their toes!

Strictly Come Dancing has certainly perfected the art of glitzy entertainment, and with this all-star lineup, the chemistry on the dance floor is expected to blaze! This show doesn’t just serve up eye-catching performances; it reminds us of the joy found in stepping outside our comfort zones. With laughter, artistry, and a sprinkle of scandal, the magic of Strictly once again tantalises viewers across the UK!

Fun fact: Did you know that Strictly Come Dancing has been a television favourite since 2004, bringing in over 12 million viewers a week? That’s a lot of sequined shoes hitting the floor! And let's not forget the show's extensive charity work; throughout its history, Strictly celebrities have raised millions for various causes, proving that every spin and step can have a heartwarming purpose behind the glamour!
