The seventeenth series of Strictly Come Dancing began broadcasting on 7 September 2019. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman returned to present the Main Show and the Results show, with Zoë Ball returning to present Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two alongside new addition Rylan Clark-Neal.[1]

Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli returned to the judging panel. After seven years as a judge, Darcey Bussell did not return to the series.[2] Bussell's replacement was announced on 22 July as Motsi Mabuse, elder sister of professional dancer Oti Mabuse.[3] In week 5, actor Alfonso Ribeiro stood in as a guest judge to cover for Tonioli.[4]

Following the withdrawal of Will Bayley, on 30 October, it was announced that the 2019 final would feature three couples instead of four.[5]

The series was won by former Emmerdale actor and racing driver Kelvin Fletcher and his professional partner Oti Mabuse.[6]

Professional dancers

It was announced that Pasha Kovalev had quit the show after eight years as a professional dancer.[7][8] On 30 July 2019, Nancy Xu was announced as joining the cast of professional dancers.[9] 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.[10][11] Instead, the three professionals who did not have celebrity partners in series 16 were all given ones for the first time in this series: Neil Jones, Johannes Radebe, and Luba Mushtuk.[12]

Couples

On 31 July 2019, the first three celebrities announced to be participating in the series were David James, Chris Ramsey and Emma Barton.[13] Celebrity reveals continued throughout the next week until the full line-up was revealed on 7 August 2019.[14] 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star Jamie Laing was originally announced as a contestant, but on 5 September 2019, it was announced that he had withdrawn from the show due to a foot injury.[15] Laing was replaced by former Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher on 7 September 2019, though Laing appeared that evening on the previously recorded season launch show.[16][17]

Due to a knee injury, sustained when he landed after jumping from a raised platform in studio rehearsals, Will Bayley was unable to perform on 26 October in the live Halloween Week episode. The injury was such that, on 30 October, he withdrew from the competition.[18]
