The Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special is back! As the Ballroom is once again transformed into a magical winter wonderland, the celebrities behind the all-star advent calendar doors this year are officially being revealed.
Expect festive cheer, jingle bells, mistletoe madness, bedazzling baubles and six celebrities all sleighing their way to Elstree in a bid to be crowned the Strictly Christmas Champion 2024.
In the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special, produced by 成人快手 Studios, each of the six couples will perform a festive fuelled routine in the hope of impressing the judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Head Judge Shirley Ballas, and the voting studio audience. But who will emerge the Christmas star of the evening, and lift the sought after Christmas trophy?
And who's dancing for the Strictly 2024 Christmas Glitterball? It's time to meet our Christmas Strictly stars...
Josh Widdicombe
I am utterly terrified this will end in humiliation and worried I鈥檓 going to be so bad I will ruin Christmas for the nation. Why have I done this?
Josh is a comedian, podcaster and author and is taking to the ballroom floor with Karen Hauer.
Tayce
I cannot wait to sleigh on the Strictly Ballroom floor. My partner and I are going to dance for our lives! In all seriousness, it鈥檚 an incredible honour to be the first Drag artist to be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing. I hope I do all of my Drag Race and Welsh fans proud! Sign me up for all the glitz, glam and discoballs.
Tayce is a Drag artist, model and presenter and will dance with Kai Widdrington.

Vogue Williams
I鈥檓 so excited to join the Strictly family! Carlos would have more of a chance of winning a Nobel prize than turning me into a good dancer but I am determined to try my very best! I鈥檓 loving it so far, bring on the Ballroom floor.

Harry Aikines-Aryeetey
鈥淪TRICTLY... ARE YOU READY?! Nitro鈥檚 blasting onto the Ballroom floor this Christmas! I鈥檓 swapping my trainers for dancing shoes, and trust me, I鈥檓 bringing the power, the energy and the moves! This December I'm gonna light up that dancefloor and crank the Christmas spirit all the way UP. Let鈥檚 do this!鈥

Billy Monger
I've spent the last 12 months training 20 hours a week for an Ironman world record attempt, but the thought of donning sequins in front of Craig Revel Horwood fills me with a fear I've never experienced before. This is about as far from my comfort zone as it can get! My family are big Strictly fans, so I'm doing it for them and to raise awareness for what I鈥檓 doing for Comic Relief next year. I'm just hoping my leg doesn't fall off mid-dance!
Billy Monger is a racing driver and TV presenter. He will be paired with Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova.
