Over recent years, Autumn has become synonymous with cosying up on the sofa each weekend to watch all the glam, glitter, sequins and sparkle of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
This year sees the 20th year since the BBC first had the inspired idea to bring celebrities together with the Strictly professional ballroom dancers and let the great British public, guided by a panel of expert Strictly judges, decide on which couple would go the distance and ultimately lift the coveted glitter ball trophy. Since then we've seen celebs show off their moves on the dance floor and some have even gone on to appear in the Strictly Come Dancing tour.
If you're keen to make sure your favourite celebrity doesn't get voted off, make sure you know the different ways you can vote on Strictly each week and make your vote count.
When will Strictly Come Dancing 2024 start?
The BBC haven't confirmed the exact date that Strictly will return in 2024 yet, only saying it'll be back in the Autumn. In the last few years, we've had a launch show around early September, with the live shows then beginning a few weeks later towards the end of the month.
Usually at the launch shows, we see all the celebs get matched with their new partners and taking part in a group number. We will also likely see last year's winners, Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, take to the floor once more.
Strictly Come Dancing 2024 line-up
Although we are still some way off from learning who this year's celebrities will be, Strictly have confirmed the returning pro dancers, judging panel and hosts for 2024.
Tess Daly will be back to host, as she has been every year since the first series of Strictly in 2004. She will be joined by co-host and partner in crime, Claudia Winkleman. The panel of judges will remain unchanged too, with the BBC confirming that Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke will all return.
The pro-dancer lineup is also confirmed, with one notable exception. As widely expected, fan-favorite Giovanni Pernice won't be returning, after controversy last year surrounding his partnership with Amanda Abington. However, the following pros will be back:
Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Graziano Di Prima, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola will all take to the Strictly dancefloor, and that's not all.
In celebration of it being their 20th year, the BBC have also announced a special Strictly show celebrating its birthday: "Viewers are in for an extra special 20th birthday treat as an unmissable one-off programme will also be coming to BBC One and iPlayer that 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.
