Strictly is back !

The country's biggest dance show made its return to Saturday night TV last night bringing glitter, glamour and glorious moves back to our screens.

Hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, we saw our 15 brand new celebrities paired with their professional partners before taking to the floor for the first time in a huge group number.

Dusting off their paddles were judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse, alongside the newest addition, Strictly's longest-serving professional dancer Anton Du Beke.

The launch show also featured two incredible routines from the Strictly professionals, the return of reigning champion Bill Bailey and a spectacular music performance from Anne Marie.

The first live show is on Saturday 25th.
