Series chronology |
Strictly Come Dancing returned for its fifteenth series in 2017 with a launch show on 9 September on BBC One, and live shows starting on 23 September. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman returned as hosts, while Zoe Ball returned to host Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two on BBC Two.
Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood, and Darcey Bussell returned as judges. On 9 May 2017, it was announced that Len Goodman, who had retired from the show at the end of the previous series, would be replaced by Shirley Ballas.[1] Tonioli missed the week 5 episode due to a scheduling conflict, and was not replaced by a guest judge. Therefore, the maximum score for a pair that week was 30.[2]
In a change to the format of previous series, there was no elimination in the final, hence there were three runner-up couples. The series was won by Holby City actor Joe McFadden and his professional partner Katya Jones. McFadden was the first Scottish celebrity to win the show and, at the time, was the oldest winner at 42, though that record was subsequently broken by Bill Bailey, the winner of series 18.[3] Another Strictly record was broken when Alexandra Burke scored the most "10s" in the history of the show, her 32 surpassing the record set by Series 7 runner-up Ricky Whittle. The series saw the final appearance of professional dancer Brendan Cole.
Professional dancers
On 21 June 2017, the list of professionals returning for the fifteenth series was revealed. Professionals from the last series who did not return include last year's winner Joanne Clifton, former professional finalist Natalie Lowe and Oksana Platero. Amy Dowden, former Dancing with the Stars Australia professional dancer Dianne Buswell and Nadiya Bychkova replaced them.[4] For the second year in a row, Neil Jones and Chloe Hewitt were not partnered with a celebrity.
Couples
On 7 August 2017, the first celebrity announced to be participating in the series was The Saturdays singer Mollie King.[5] Celebrity reveals continued across the month with the line up being completed on The One Show on 21 August 2017.[6][non-primary source needed][7]
