The Strictly Come Dancing judges and the show's professional dancers are set to battle in an epic ballroom twist. The BBC One dance contest will return this week for week two of the competition. The 2024 run of the hit dance show officially got underway last weekend when all 15 of the new Strictly couples performed live in the iconic ballroom for the first time.
On the first occasion, it was just for the judges' comments and scores as it's not until this Saturday (September 28), during week two of the competition that viewers get to cast their votes before the first dance-off and elimination of the 22nd series takes place during the results show on Sunday night (September 29).

They will dance to Prince’s When Doves Cry and New Order’s Blue Monday, before the first person to be eliminated from the dancing show is revealed.
The show’s longest-serving judge, Craig Revel Horwood, will wear a blonde wig and sit on a golden throne while fellow judge Anton Du Beke will wear a purple jacket with a gold waistcoat and white shirt. Head judge Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse will dance in all black outfits while the professional dancers will wear white and black outfits as they surround the throne, for which the judges will battle.
