It's felt like a long time coming but the countdown to Christmas will officially begin tonight with the return of the all-sparkling Strictly Come Dancing. And the brand new group of celebrities have officially undergone their glitzy and glam makeovers ahead of the 2022 series.
The hit BBC One show was set to return to screens last Saturday night (September 17). However, the BBC took the decision to postpone. The start of the new series of the dance contest was hanging in the balance following the Queen's death and with the launch planned just two days before Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, which took place on Monday.
This year's Strictly journey will instead begin tonight, Friday, September 23, at 7pm with the launch show, which was pre-recorded earlier this month, and will see the celebrities found out their professional partners for the first time.
