What is Strictly Come Dancing?
Strictly Come Dancing is a competition show that has been running since 2004.
Each series sees a group of professional dancers paired with celebrities with all types of different backgrounds.
The pairs learn new dance routines each week, and their dances are rated by a panel of four judges.
One by one, each pair is voted off the show until the top three remain. The winning pair get the chance to lift the glitterball trophy!
