Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC Brit for its glittering 20th anniversary, airing every Sunday at 19:00 on DStv Channel 120. Hosted by the dynamic duo Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, celebrity contestants take to the Strictly dancefloor with their professional partners, aiming to deliver show-stopping performances that will impress the judges and keep them in the competition until the very end.

 

The show’s glittering new season promises even more spectacular performances, featuring South Africa’s very own Motsi Mabuse and Johannes Radebe returning to their roles as judge and professional dancer, respectively. Their presence on the stage brings international recognition to South African talent while also adding to the legacy of one of the world’s most beloved entertainment formats.



When asked about how she feels about the new season’s contestants, Mabuse said, “The class of 2024 is shaping up to be something extraordinary! Each year brings new personalities and new dynamics, and I’m excited to see how they’ll all evolve throughout the season. There’s so much potential, and I can’t wait to see the stories unfold on the dance floor. It’s going to be a phenomenal year!”
