When is BBC's Strictly Come Dancing on and how long is it on for as show returns

The iconic ballroom dancing show is returning to our small screens after nearly 10 months waiting.

Get your jazz hands and sequences ready as Strictly Come Dancing will be on BBC One on Friday September 23 at 7pm after the original launch date was delayed due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth.

The launch show introduces the fans to this year's contestants which include Scottish journalist Kaye Adams, Paralympian Ellie Taylor and singer Matt Goss along with other celebrities hoping for the success that Eastenders' Rose Ayling-Ellis had last year.

Strictly will run from 7pm until 8.50pm and the second instalment will be on BBC One on Saturday at 6.45 until 9.10 where the 15 celebs will show off what they've been practising.

Week one won't include the public vote, but the judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Head Judge Shirley Ballas, still have their paddles.

Next week, starting on October 1, Strictly will return to the Saturday showings with their live shows where the public can have their say.

You can watch Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
