Tess and Claud are back with the first live show of Strictly Come Dancing 2023, and it opens with a stunning group performance from our professional dancers showing the brand new cast how it's done.

Our 15 couples perform live for the first time, hoping to impress both the viewers at home and the Strictly Come Dancing judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and head judge Shirley Ballas.

There is no public vote, but the judges still have their paddles. Their scores tonight will be carried over to next week, when viewers will have their chance to vote for their favourite couple. Get ready to Starrrrt Dancing.

It's the first results show of the series, and it opens with an incredible group number medley in tribute to the iconic Tina Turner. The routine guest-stars Beverley Knight, Laura Mvula & Fleur East alongside our professional dancers. The 15 couples will find out the result of the first public vote, and the two overall lowest scoring couples will go head-to-head in the first dance-off of the series. The amazing singer-songwriter Jorja Smith will also be performing in the Ballroom.
