It\u2019s the moment you\u2019ve all been waiting for: the first Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> live show!<\/p>\n

Our plucky bunch of contestants in the Strictly Come Dancing 2021 line-up<\/a> are raring to go in their glittery outfits \u2013 and we simply can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n

Alongside this year\u2019s celebs, Anton Du Beke will make his debut as a full-time judge, and he\u2019s set to be, ahem, a little friendlier than Craig Revel Horwood\u2026<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no elimination this week, so this year\u2019s line-up will dance again, but no one wants to be in the bottom, especially in the first week.<\/p>\n

But who will soar to the top of the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard? Who will find themselves in trouble?<\/p>\n

Get ready for the fully-fledged return of Strictly\u2026<\/p>

6:00pm:<\/strong> Welcome to our Strictly Come Dancing live blog! Join us as we\u2019ll bring you all the drama, scores and reaction from the ballroom. It\u2019s going to be a very busy night as we get our first real look at this year\u2019s cast in action.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, the celebrities met their partners. And to remind you of the pairings:<\/p>\n
