Now, the air date for the show\u2019s launch may have been confirmed, by a combination of former contestant AJ Odudu<\/a> and professional dancer Johannes Radebe.<\/p>\n Professional dancer Radebe was appearing on Channel 4\u2019s The Big Breakfast<\/a> on Saturday 20th August when co-host Odudu said: \u201cWe do have the exclusive that the launch of Strictly Come Dancing 2022 is gonna be September 17th<\/strong>, how exciting!\u201d<\/p>\n Radebe then responded: \u201cIt is exciting. You would know, you\u2019re in the same circle, everybody else is waiting for it, I know.\u201d<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> has reached out to the BBC for comment.<\/p>\n If correct, it would mean there\u2019s only a matter of weeks for fans to wait until we return to the ballroom, with this year\u2019s line-up featuring soap stars, a Paralympian and pop sensations amongst others.<\/p>\n The full line-up<\/a> is as follows: Will Mellor, Kym Marsh, Richie Anderson, Kaye Adams, Jayde Adams, Ellie Simmonds, Tyler West, Matt Goss, Ellie Taylor, Molly Rainford, Tony Adams MBE, Fleur East, Hamza Yassin, James Bye and Helen Skelton.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the show\u2019s line-up of professional dancers has seen a switch-up this year, with Oti Mabuse<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Alja\u017e \u0160korjanec<\/a> both announcing their departures from the show and four new members of the roster<\/a> being revealed earlier this year.<\/p> Last year, Johannes made history as part of Strictly\u2019s first same-sex dancing couple, when he was paired up with Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite<\/a>. The couple went on to be runners-up to winners Rose Ayling-Ellis<\/a> and Giovanni Pernice.<\/p>\n Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC One later this year.
