Strictly Come Dancing returned for its twentieth series with a launch show on 23 September 2022 on BBC One, with live shows beginning the following day on 24 September.[1] The launch show was originally scheduled to be broadcast on 17 September, but was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.[2] Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman returned as hosts, while Rylan Clark and Janette Manrara returned to host Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two.[3]

In May 2022, the BBC announced that Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse, and Craig Revel Horwood would return to the judging panel.[4] It was also confirmed that Bruno Tonioli, who had been absent from the two previous series due to travel restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, would be permanently leaving the show.[5]

In August 2022, the BBC confirmed that the show would return to the Blackpool Tower Ballroom for the first time since the seventeenth series.[6][7] It was also announced that there would be a special themed week to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the BBC, with the couples dancing to "a theme tune from an iconic BBC programme or in tribute to one of the BBC's most loved services".[8][9]

Wildlife presenter Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystał were announced as the winners on 17 December,[10] while singer-songwriter Fleur East and Vito Coppola, Nova Jones actress Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, and television presenter Helen Skelton and Gorka Márquez were the runners-up.

Professional dancers

On 22 February 2022, it was announced that Oti Mabuse was leaving the series after seven years,[11] and on 28 March 2022, that Aljaž Škorjanec was also leaving after nine years.[12] Three days after Škorjanec's departure, the BBC announced that the rest of the current professionals would be returning to the series.[13]

In July 2022, the BBC announced that four new professional dancers would be joining the cast: European cup winner Vito Coppola, who was also a professional dancer on the Italian version of the show in 2021; Chinese National Champion Carlos Gu; former Under 21 British National Champion Lauren Oakley; and Latin dance champion Michelle Tsiakkas.[14][15] Jowita Przystał received a celebrity partner for the first time, as did new professionals Vito Coppola and Carlos Gu; while Neil Jones, Cameron Lombard, Luba Mushtuk, Lauren Oakley, and Michelle Tsiakkas did not receive a partner.[16]

Couples

This series featured fifteen celebrity contestants. On 4 August 2022, the first two celebrities announced were Will Mellor and Kym Marsh.[17][18] Celebrity contestants continued to be revealed until 13 August 2022, when the full line-up was announced.[19][20] During the results show on 13 November, after initially being announced as one of the bottom two couples, Tony Adams and Katya Jones withdrew from the competition due to Adams having sustained a hamstring injury during their original performance.[21]
