We may be weeks away from the Strictly Come Dancing 2022 final, but you can never really have too much Strictly, with the show set to return to our screens for a Christmas special.
This festive season, six brand new celebrity contestants will take to the floor in a bid to be crowned the Christmas Champion of 2022.
Alongside one of the Strictly pros, each celeb will perform a Christmas-inspired routine with the hope of impressing the judges – Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Head Judge Shirley Ballas – and the voting audience.
With Christmas just around the corner, the first celebrity has been confirmed for the 2022 line-up.
On Wednesday, 30th November, Podcaster Rosie Ramsey was revealed as the first celebrity contestant for the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.
The five remaining celebrities will be announced over the next few days, and we’ll keep you updated right here.
In the meantime, read on for everything you need to know about the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special, including which Strictly pro Rosie will be dancing with.
