Strictly Come Dancing returned for its sixteenth series with a launch show on 8 September 2018 on BBC One, and the first live show on 22 September. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman returned as hosts, while Zoe Ball returned to host Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two on BBC Two. Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Shirley Ballas returned as judges. On 20 October, actor Alfonso Ribeiro stood in as a guest judge to cover for Tonioli.[1]

In this series, three new dance styles were introduced (contemporary, theatre/jazz and street/commercial) as part of a new category called "couple's choice", giving a total of 18 dance styles in the competition.[2]

The winners were Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton, becoming the seventh pair of winners to have never achieved a perfect score.[3] Runners-up Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer matched Caroline Flack's record in 2014 of scoring perfect 40s for all three dances in the final. Roberts also set a record of achieving the most 40s during a series, with five. Roberts also matched Alexandra Burke’s record of the most 10s during the series, with 32. Roberts and Kovalev are also the highest-scoring couple of all time. Tozer also set the record of most consecutive ‘10’ scoring dances, with 11.

The series was Bussell's last series as a judge, with Motsi Mabuse later announced as her replacement. It was also the last series to feature Pasha Kovalev as a professional.

Professional dancers[]

On 30 May 2018, the list of professionals returning for the sixteenth series was revealed. Professionals from the last series who did not return included Series 1 winner Brendan Cole and Chloe Hewitt.[4] Graziano Di Prima, Johannes Radebe and Luba Mushtuk replaced them.[5] As in the last two series, Neil Jones did not have a celebrity partner. Mushtuk and Radebe also did not have celebrity partners, however, Di Prima did.[6][7]

Couples[]

On 13 August 2018, the first three celebrities announced to be participating in the series were Katie Piper, Faye Tozer and Danny John-Jules.[8][9][10] Celebrity reveals continued across that month, before concluding on 21 August on Good Morning Britain.[11][7]
