The BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2022 series may be over but fans of the competition don't have long to wait until they get to see a little bit more of the ballroom magic back on their screens. On Christmas Day, BBC One will air a Strictly Christmas special with six celebrities and professional dancers taking part.
Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts is taking part with Giovanni Pernice, while Gavin and Stacey actor Larry Lamb is partnered with Nadiya Bychkova. Soap actress Alexandra Mardell and Kai Widdrington, Radio 1 DJ Rickie Haywood-Williams and Luba Mushtuk, podcaster Rosie Ramsey and Neil Jones, and CBeebies presenter George Webster and Amy Dowden are also all in the line-up.
Speaking ahead of the festive one-off, Nicola opened up on what it was like to train with Giovanni and she did not mince her words. While the singer said Giovanni was a "great teacher" she also said she "wanted to strangle him" during training.
