Strictly Come Dancing is back and the celebs are set to hit the dance floor properly this weekend. The couples were revealed last Saturday in the launch show.
One of the stars has had to withdraw from the show after suffering an injury in a fall in rehearsals. Find out more details here.
The couples will each perform a routine and face judging by Strictly’s illustrious panel. Following the pattern of recent years, there will be no elimination in week one and scores will carry over to the second week - when the first vote will take place.
But one of the celebs has already been named favourite to be eliminated. See the latest odds from Oddschecker.
