Strictly Come Dancing is back for season 20, and the dancing is in full swing.

Last week saw the contestants in the Strictly Come Dancing 2022 line-up take to the dance floor for the first time with their professional dance partners.

They received their first scores from the judging panel, including Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood, and will be hoping to perform upon their initial performances during the second live shows.

It’s crucial that they impress this weekend, as the votes open for the first time on Saturday, 1st October.

After the votes have been placed, the two celebrities with the fewest votes will go head-to-head in a dance-off as they try to keep their spot in the competition.

As the Strictly Come Dancing continues, we’ll be keeping you updated right here with all the scores live on the night.

Read on for everything you need to know.
