Strictly Come Dancing returned for its fourteenth series with a launch show on 3 September on BBC One, while the live shows began on 23 September 2016. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman returned as hosts, while Zoe Ball returned to host Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two on BBC Two. Darcey Bussell, Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood, and Bruno Tonioli returned as judges.[1] This was Goodman's final series as head judge.[2]
BBC Sport presenter Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton were announced as the winners on 17 December 2016.
Format
The couples dance each week in a live show. The judges score each performance out of ten. The couples are then ranked according to the judges' scores and given points according to their rank, with the lowest scored couple receiving one point, and the highest scored couple receiving the most points (the maximum number of points available depends on the number of couples remaining in the competition). The public are also invited to vote for their favourite couples, and the couples are ranked again according to the number of votes they receive, again receiving points; the couple with the fewest votes receiving one point, and the couple with the most votes receiving the most points.
The points for judges' score and public vote are then added together, and the two couples with the fewest points are placed in the bottom two. If two couples have equal points, the points from the public vote are given precedence. As with the previous series, the bottom two couples have to perform a dance-off on the results show. Based on that performance alone, each judge then votes on which couple should stay and which couple should leave, with Len Goodman, as head judge, having the last and deciding vote.
Professional dancers
On 28 June 2016, the list of professionals who were returning for the fourteenth series was revealed. Professionals from the last series who did not return included Ola Jordan, Tristan MacManus, Kristina Rihanoff, Gleb Savchenko, and Aliona Vilani. They were replaced by Katya Jones and her husband Neil Jones, Burn the Floor dancer Gorka Márquez, former Dancing with the Stars troupe member Oksana Platero, and ex-Britain's Got Talent contestants AJ Pritchard and Chloe Hewitt.[3][4] Chloe Hewitt and Neil Jones were not partnered with a celebrity, although they were on standby for any pro who might have been injured or unable to compete, and also performed in group dances and appeared on the Strictly companion programme, It Takes Two.[5]
Couples
This series featured fifteen celebrity contestants. On 8 August 2016, former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls was announced as the first celebrity contestant,[6] with more celebrities being announced throughout the month. The line up was completed on 22 August on The One Show.[7]
On 11 October, Will Young announced that he was leaving the show for "personal reasons".[8]
