The popular dance competition, Strictly Come Dancing, is set to dazzle audiences with its annual Blackpool special this weekend, showcasing vibrant performances and special guests. The show relocates to the iconic seaside town each year, transforming the renowned Blackpool Tower into a spectacular ballroom. Broadcast live on BBC One, the event promises an electrifying atmosphere filled with talent and entertainment.
This year’s lineup features couples such as George Clarke and Alexis Warr, Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe, Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin, and Lewis Cope and Katya Jones. These couples successfully progressed in the competition after receiving high scores from the judges and support from the public votes. Notably, Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon were saved by the judges after facing elimination for the fourth time in the dance-off.
Unfortunately, drag performer La Voix will be unable to participate due to an injury sustained earlier this week. As a result, La Voix and partner Aljaz Skorjanec have received a bye through to week 10 of the 2025 series.
Performance Details and Special Guests
Fans can look forward to an exciting lineup of songs and dances performed by the remaining couples. Viewers can tune in on November 22, 2025, starting at 18:35 (UTC) on BBC One and iPlayer. The results show will follow on November 17 at the regular time of 19:15 (UTC).
In addition to the couples’ performances, the live show will feature a guest appearance by the popular 90s pop group Steps, who will perform alongside the professional dancers and celebrities. The excitement continues with former show finalists Layton Williams, Ashley Roberts, Jay McGuiness, and Danny Mac, all set to reunite for a special group dance.
With a blend of competitive spirit and celebratory performances, the Blackpool special of Strictly Come Dancing promises to be an unmissable highlight of the season.
