A new season of Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> is upon us!<\/p>\n Tonight we\u2019ll see all the celebrities in the Strictly Come Dancing 2022 line-up<\/a> take to the ballroom as they perform their first dance for season 20.<\/p>\n Following yesterday\u2019s launch show, we now have the confirmed list of Strictly Come Dancing 2022 couples, including new pro dancers Carlos Gu<\/a> and Vito Coppola<\/a> who joined the series this year, alongside Lauren Oakley and Michelle Tsiakkas.<\/p>\n Carlos will take to the dance floor with CBBC\u2019s Molly Rainford<\/a>, while Vito will dance with singer and presenter Fleur East<\/a>.<\/p>\n But, will they have what it takes to lift the Glitterball and follow in the footsteps of last year\u2019s winner, actress Rose Ayling-Ellis<\/a>, who waltzed all the way to the final with her professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice<\/a>?<\/p> They\u2019ll compete against the likes of Countryfile\u2019s Helen Skelton<\/a>, Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds<\/a>, and actors Will Mellor<\/a> and James Bye<\/a>, who many will recognise for playing Martin Fowler on EastEnders.<\/p>\n Ahead of his Strictly debut, James revealed the EastEnders changes to accommodate his Strictly appearance<\/a>, saying: \u201cAt the moment, while the show starts, they\u2019ve given me a bit of time just to sort of prep and get involved. And then as the show goes on, I think I\u2019m going to be immersed a bit more in EastEnders and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n For the first live show, all the celebrities will perform their dance routine, after which the Strictly Come Dancing judges<\/a> will give their verdict and score them out of 40.<\/p>\n As it\u2019s the first week, everyone is safe, and their scores will instead be combined with the scores in Week 2 when the public vote will open.<\/p>\n The two celebrities who receive the fewest votes will go head-to-head as they perform their routine again in a dance-off. The judges will then decide who they want to save and who they\u2019d like to send home.<\/p>\n As each celebrity performs, we\u2019ll keep you updated right here with all the latest scores.<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One on Saturdays and Sundays.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Visit our dedicated\u00a0Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
