BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2022 start date revealed as former star AJ Odudu spills details

Strictly Come Dancing fans will be delighted to know that the BBC's much anticipated dance contest is set to return in a matter of weeks. Strictly has been at the centre of our screens since 2004 airing on Saturday night's from autumn right up until Christmas.

Each year a bunch of famous faces put their dancing skills to the test alongside a professional dancer in a bid to win the ultimate Strictly Glitterball trophy. The line-up of celebrities taking to the dance floor this year is now officially complete with a mix of Corrie actors, an 80s music legend and a former Britain's Got Talent child star all preparing to put on their dancing shoes.

And it has now been revealed that Strictly will return for its twentieth series with a launch show on Saturday, September 17, with live shows expected to begin shortly after. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be back to host the show as well as judges Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and head judge Shirley Ballas.
