We may be weeks away from the Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> 2022 final, but you can never really have too much Strictly, with the show set to return to our screens for a Christmas special.<\/p>\n

This festive season, six brand new celebrity contestants will take to the floor in a bid to be crowned the Christmas Champion of 2022.<\/p>\n

Alongside one of the Strictly pros, each celeb will perform a Christmas-inspired routine with the hope of impressing the judges \u2013 Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Head Judge Shirley Ballas \u2013 and the voting audience.<\/p>\n

With Christmas just around the corner, the first celebrity has been confirmed for the 2022 line-up.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, 30th November, Podcaster Rosie Ramsey was revealed as the first celebrity contestant for the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.<\/p>\n

The five remaining celebrities will be announced over the next few days, and we\u2019ll keep you updated right here.<\/p>\n
