The judging line-up for Strictly Come Dancing has been confirmed after months of speculation. Anton Du Beke will officially replace Brun Tonioli on the panel after impressing bosses and viewers during his stint last year.
The show's longest-serving professional hung up his dancing shoes during the 2021 series, which was won by Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, to act as judge in place of Bruno who couldn't commit to the series due to travel restrictions between the UK and USA where he also works on Dancing With the Stars.
After fans feared Anton, who also did a two-week stint filling in on the judging panel in 2020, was missing from the professional dancer's line-up earlier this year, the BBC has now confirmed he'll return as a judge alongside Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse.
