When is the Strictly Come Dancing 20th anniversary on TV?
It's time to take a trip down memory lane.
As Strictly Come Dancing came to an end last weekend, with Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell crowned the winners of the 2024 series, there is still plenty more Strictly excitement to come – and it's not just the Christmas special.
20 Fabulous Years is coming to BBC One and iPlayer this Saturday as hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman look back on a sparkling two decades of Strictly Come Dancing.
The 85-minute special has it all, with exclusive interviews with past contestants, pro dancers, judges and production teams, in which they will revisit some of Strictly's most iconic performances and just how Strictly has become such a beloved institution.
Just some of those iconic moments include Jill Halfpenny's first ever 40, Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani’s electrifying Pulp Fiction jive and, of course, Gangnam Style by Ed Balls and Katya Jones.
So, when can viewers tune into 20 Fabulous Years? Read on for everything you need to know.
