Strictly Come Dancing Series 17
Strictly Come Dancing returned for its
seventeenth series with a launch show on 7 September 2019 on
BBC One , and the live shows beginning on 21 September.
Tess Daly and
Claudia Winkleman returned as hosts, while
Zoe Ball returned to host
Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two alongside new addition
Rylan Clark-Neal .
Shirley Ballas , Craig Revel Horwood , and Bruno Tonioli returned to the judging panel. After seven years, Darcey Bussell did not return to the series. Motsi Mabuse , elder sister of professional dancer Oti Mabuse , was announced as Bussell's replacement on 22 July. On 19 October, actor Alfonso Ribeiro returned as a guest judge.
Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse were announced as the winners on 14 December, while EastEnders actress Emma Barton and Anton Du Beke , and CBBC presenter Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowden were the runners-up.
The couples dance each week in a live show. The judges score each performance out of ten. The couples are then ranked according to the judges' scores and given points according to their rank, with the lowest scored couple receiving one point, and the highest scored couple receiving the most points (the maximum number of points available depends on the number of couples remaining in the competition). The public are also invited to vote for their favourite couples, and the couples are ranked again according to the number of votes they receive, again receiving points; the couple with the fewest votes receiving one point, and the couple with the most votes receiving the most points.
The points for judges' score and public vote are then added together, and the two couples with the fewest points are placed in the bottom two. If two couples have equal points, the points from the public vote are given precedence. As with the previous series, the bottom two couples have to perform a dance-off on the results show. Based on that performance alone, each judge then votes on which couple should stay and which couple should leave, with Shirley Ballas , as head judge, having the last and deciding vote .
Professional dancers
On 1 March 2019, it was announced that Pasha Kovalev would be leaving the show after eight years as a professional dancer. On 30 July 2019, Nancy Xu was revealed to have been added to the cast of professionals. On 21 August 2019, it was confirmed that both Gorka Márquez and Graziano Di Prima would not have celebrity partners, a change from the previous series; in their place, the three professionals who did not have celebrity partners in series 16 - Neil Jones , Johannes Radebe , and Luba Mushtuk - were all given one for the first time.
Couples
This series featured fifteen celebrity contestants. On 31 July 2019, the first three celebrities were announced: Emma Barton , David James , and Chris Ramsey . Celebrity reveals continued throughout the next week until the full line-up was revealed on 7 August 2019. Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing was originally announced as a contestant, but on 5 September 2019, it was announced that he had withdrawn from the show due to a foot injury. He was replaced by former Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher on 7 September 2019.
Due to a knee injury sustained when he landed after jumping from a raised platform during studio rehearsals, Will Bayley was unable to perform on 26 October in the live episode. The injury was such that, on 30 October, he withdrew from the competition.
