One of Saturday night's biggest entertainment shows is back.

Clue: Da dada da da da daaaa...

Of course, we all know what that can only mean Strictly Come Dancing is back to provide us with some family entertainment and llead us up to the most wonderful time of the year - which is Christmas, of course.

And our first hit of what is to come from the BBC for the next three months is the launch show which airs on Saturday, September 7, from 7pm and will see the celebrities, professional dancers and judges all come together for the first time/

Plus, we'll also found out which pairings we'll be cheering on to victory and that glitterball trophy.

They'll take over from reigning champ Stacey Dooley who won the competition with her partner Kevin Clifton but first, there's 12-weeks of dance routines, costume changes and PLENTY of glitter to get through.

Judging this year's crop of stars will be Motsi Mabuse, the sister of Strictly professional Oti, who is joining the judging line-up alongside head judge Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli.

There is also a new pro on the scene as Latin dancer Nancy Xu replaces Pasha Kovalev who left the show after eight years.

Catherine Tyldesley

Representing Manchester this year is former Coronation Street  actress Catherine Tyldesley.

The Salford-born star, who is best known for her time as Eva Price on the ITV soap, announced her Strictly commitment on This Morning and told the programme how she is going to  use her time on Strictly as "therapy".

Cath, 35, weighed almost 15 stone aged 17 and would skip dance class due to body confidence issues.

Catherine Tyldesley

But took control of her size and steadily managed to lose five stone.

She said: "We used to do Steps routines in school and stuff like that but when I was in theatre school I always swerved dance classes because I was really big and so self conscious.

"So it's always been a thing to me that I've thought, do you know what, I need to do this because I have always shied away from it. It's a little bit like therapy. It's a real challenge for me."

Mike Bushell

He has been thrown into all sorts of sporting scenarios on BBC Breakfast but now Mike Bushell is throwing himself into his own challenge on Strictly.

The sports presenter has already said that he is "flying the flag for dad dancers" this year and that he will "completely throw myself into the whole experience and I’m sure will love it from start to finish."

Mike Bushell

Mike, 53, also added: "I may have tried and profiled over 500 sports over the years in my Saturday morning BBC Breakfast slot but think the Strictly challenge could be the greatest. Bring on the glitter!"

He added: "I want THE LOT. The skimpiest of clothes, the widest of flares, the brightest of colours and the tallest Cuban heels a guy can find! The more flamboyant the better… sequins galore please!!"

Viscountess Weymouth Emma Thynn

She's a businesswoman, chef, model and philanthropist but how will Viscountess Emma Weymouth handle dancing in front of the nation each week?

Michelle Visage

Speaking about her new TV gig, Michelle said: "Getting to do Strictly in my favorite place on Earth is an actual DREAM!

"I'm so excited to show that being 50 doesn't mean life stops. Things may not work like they did when I was 20, but 50 also means 'FABULOUS!'

"There are plenty of women like me out there who still 'got it' and we still 'plan to use it!' so slap on the sequins, point me to the dance floor and watch me Paso my Doble!"

Will Bayley

Will Bayley is ranked number one in the world when it comes to table tennis but can he make it number one in the dancing world?

As well as being a fan of the show, he is also out to prove an important point.

Will said: "I'm so proud to be on the show, it's my family's favourite show. I have no dance experience at all, but I hope I can do well. I want to inspire people with a disability - that would mean a lot to me. I want to prove to people I can do this."
