Dust off your dancing shoes, we’re quickstepping to the ballroom. Find out how to watch Strictly Come Dancing online and stream the new series from anywhere.
The Strictly launch got off to a bedazzled start with a spectacular pre-recorded dance from the professionals, and an initial glimpse of our celebrities’ dancing prowess in their first group number. Of course, the couples were also revealed as each celeb found out who they’ve been paired up with. Catch up on the launch show and get ready to watch Strictly Come Dancing as the first live show quick-steps onto our screens this weekend. After the pandemic wreaked havoc with the show last year, Strictly will return to its usual thirteen week format in 2021 – and the themed Halloween dances are making a come back too. Unfortunately, no one will be waltzing their way to the Blackpool Tower Ballroom though, with all episodes being filmed in the Elstree Studios. However, the Saturday night show – which has been on our screens since 2004 if you can believe it – is set for many firsts this year. Eastender’s actress, Rose Ayling-Ellis, will be the first deaf contestant to don a ball gown and John Whaite will be one half of the first male couple on the show. Plus, Anton Du Beke will be cha cha-ing his way into Bruno Tonioli’s Italian leather brogues to complete the judging panel. To find out how to tune in with hosts Tess Daley and Claudia Winkleman – who will be there to celebrate those tens and offer a socially distanced handhold if nerves creep in – keep reading. We’ll be telling you how to watch Strictly Come Dancing online from anywhere with a free live stream. For anyone abroad right now who still wants to experience the glitz and glam of Strictly, you might struggle from outside of the UK.
