New information on Strictly Come Dancing‘s Christmas special in 2023 has emerged.
With Strictly 2023 in full swing with favourites like Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell, as well as Vito Coppola and Ellie Leach, it won’t be long before we find out who won the Glitterball.
And there’s still more to look forward to, as information about the Christmas special have surfaced, including how to watch the action live.
According to the BBC, ‘this year six new celebrities will step to the floor and battle to become the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas champion 2023.’
They announced that the unique yearly programme, which will air on Christmas Day, will be pre-recorded on Tuesday, December 5.
Anyone who wants to watch the Strictly Christmas special live can apply on the website and hope their name is selected at random.
Fans can apply for a maximum of one pair of tickets at any time until Tuesday, November 14, at 10 p.m.
If your name is drawn, you will be admitted to the concert.
Alexandra Mardell of Coronation Street and her professional partner Kai Widdrington won last year’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.
Before scooping the gleaming Strictly Silver Star trophy, the Emma Brooker star impressed judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Head Judge Shirley Ballas, as well as the studio audience, with their Quickstep to Sleigh Ride by The Ronettes.
Last year’s programme featured five other celebrities: Larry Lamb and Nadiya Bychkova, Rosie Ramsey and Neil Jones, George Webster and Amy Dowden, Ricky Haywood-Williams and Luba Mushtuk, and Nicola Roberts and Giovanni Pernice.
To end the evening in classic Strictly fashion, the couples and judges all returned to the ballroom for a Christmas cracker performance of All You Need is Love by The Beatles.
Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special will air on BBC One on Christmas Day.
