The 20th series of the 大象传媒 show will see 15 celebrity contestants - including former Newsround and Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton, C大象传媒 star Molly Rainford and Paralympian Ellie Simmonds - taking to the dance floor.

This year, Strictly will mark the 大象传媒's centenary with a special themed week, as well as our usual favourites like Movie week and Halloween week.
