Strictly Come Dancing has unveiled the lineup of songs for week one of the competition, ahead of Saturday night’s first live show of the series. The show returned to screens last week with a dazzling pre-recorded show to mark the beginning of its 20th anniversary series after months of scandal surrounding the programme’s professional dancers.

Strictly Come Dancing star Sarah Hadland has revealed why she "burst into tears" before last weekend's launch show. The former Miranda actor made her debut in the Strictly ballroom for the 2024 launch, where she learned she'd be paired up with professional dancer Vito Coppola.

Strictly Come Dancing star Chris McCausland seriously impressed viewers with his first ever performance on the hit show. The blind comedian took to the floor for the first time with partner Dianne Buswell to dance a Cha Cha to Twist and Shout by The Beatles.

This year’s contestants faced their first Strictly Come Dancing live show – and for the most part, came away victorious. Paul and Karen’s American smooth to Vindaloo was a dance for the ages. Toyah and Neil’s tango was also iconic but for slightly different reasons.
