We might still be several months away from the 2022 season of Strictly Come Dancing – but the show has already confirmed which professionals will be returning to the dancefloor next year.
Last year’s champion Giovanni Pernice – who won the Glitterball trophy with celebrity partner Rose Ayling-Ellis – is among those to return, as is fellow 2021 finalist Johannes Radebe.
And other returning pros include Amy Dowden, Dianne Buswell, Gorka Márquez, Graziano Di Prima, Karen Hauer, Nikita Kuzmin, Nancy Xu, Neil Jones, Nadiya Bychkova, Katya Jones and Kai Widdrington.
Meanwhile, Jowita Przystał, Luba Mushtuk and Cameron Lombard – none of whom received a partner last year – will also be back in the fold this time around.
