As the autumn season approaches, nothing says cozy nights quite like snuggling up in your favorite PJs, sipping on some hot chocolate, and watching British celebs show off their moves to the tunes of Dave Arch and his band. But when exactly does Strictly Come Dancing 2024 start? The launch show will be pre-recorded on Wednesday, September 4, with hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman welcoming back judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, and Motsi Mabuse.
The exciting pairings will also be revealed during the launch show. The BBC has confirmed the date on their official website, and fans can sign up for tickets for the live shows through a random draw. Unfortunately, tickets for the launch show are no longer available, but there is still a chance to attend one of the 13 subsequent shows by applying for a pair of non-transferable tickets. The shows will be filmed every Saturday from September to December at Elstree Film Studios in Hertfordshire.
Mark your calendars for the Halloween and Blackpool specials, with filming taking place on October 26 and November 16 respectively. And of course, the highly anticipated Christmas special will also be back this year. The final of Strictly Come Dancing 2024 will be recorded on December 14, and fans can expect to see the return of the companion show, Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, airing weekdays on BBC Two at 6.30pm.
For those wondering who won Strictly Come Dancing 2023, it was none other than former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach and her pro partner Vito Coppola. The runners-up were Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin, followed by Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell.
