The seasonal edition will see six celebrities team up with professional dance partners and perform to the expert judging panel in the hopes of being named Strictly Come Dancing Christmas champion 2023.

Alas, we don't yet know who will be taking part this time around, but details have been released on how to be in with a chance of getting tickets to the sparkling event, with attendance always in high demand.

The Strictly Come Dancing special usually airs on Christmas Day itself, although the precise scheduling of this year's edition is still to be confirmed.

Recording is set to take place on Tuesday 5th December, so you'll have to clear some time on that date if you're determined to go along. Here's more essential information:
