Strictly Come Dancing 2017 Christmas line up, start time and SPOILER!

Here’s a spoiler filled preview of tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing 2017 Christmas special.

Once again, following the end of the main series earlier this month, the Strictly judges will return for one last appearance this year today on Christmas Day.

And this year’s show is rather extra special as it’ll be Shirley Ballas’ first time as a Strictly judge at Christmas.

She’ll be joined by Strictly veterans Bruno Tonioli, Darcey Bussell and Craig Revel Horwood on the panel as they cast their critical eyes over the routines.

But it’ll be the studio audience who decides the winner in the annual special show this evening on BBC One.

In this year’s cracker of a show each of the six couples will perform a routine which tells the story of what everyone loves about Christmas in a bid to be crowned Christmas champions 2017.

The judges will be on hand to score each couple and spread some cheerful joy, yet it will be down to the studio audience to vote for which dancing duo will win the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 2017 and lift the famous Silver Star trophy.

Meet the celebrities and pros on Strictly’s Christmas special below. Plus a Strictly spoiler on what songs and dances they’ll be performing…
