The anticipation is building, and the glitter is already starting to fly. The lineup for the 2025Strictly Come DancingChristmas special is beginning to materialize, promising a festive feast of sequins and spectacular routines.
Leading the charge onto the dance floor is television personality Scarlett Moffatt, the first celebrity confirmed for this year’s holiday extravaganza. Moffatt expressed a deep connection to the show, describing it as a cherished tradition that unites families during the Christmas season.
For Moffatt, this isn’t just another television appearance; it’s a dream realized. She spoke of the show’s enduring magic and the profound joy of becoming a part of that collective experience, a true highlight in both her personal and professional life.
She’s bracing herself for a physical challenge, playfully anticipating the discovery of muscles she never knew existed. Moffatt is determined to embrace the experience fully, promising to live her “best life” with every step and spin on the dancefloor.
Scarlett will be partnered with the reigning champion, Vito Coppola, who captivated audiences with his winning performance alongside Ellie Leach in the 2023 series. This dynamic pairing sets the stage for a potentially dazzling partnership.
While fans eagerly await the return of the main series this weekend with a special from Blackpool, the excitement for the Christmas special is already palpable. The next celebrity contestant will be revealed soon.
Tune in to the Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Scott Mills on Monday for the next big announcement. The Christmas special itself is scheduled to air on Christmas Day on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, promising a sparkling end to the year.
