The Strictly Come Dancing professionals for 2019 have been confirmed – and it includes all of your favourites (apart from Pasha Kovalev, who decided to quit earlier this year) as well as a brand new face.
Shirley Ballas, Bruno Tonioli, Dame Darcey Bussell and Craig Revel Horwood made up the famous four judging panel last year. However, Dame Darcey announced in April that she was stepping down from her Strictly role after seven years. Motsi Mabuse will be sitting on the 2019 Strictly Come Dancing panel alongside Craig, Bruno and Shirley. She is the sister of Strictly professional Oti Mabuse, who was strongly rumoured for the role but had previously ruled herself out.
The show has run on BBC One since 2004, primarily on Saturday evenings with a following Sunday night results show. From series 1 to 11, the late Sir Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly presented the pro-celebrity ballroom dancing competition. Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly are currently co-hosts.
