The BBC has confirmed the lineup for the judges and dancers on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will return as hosts of the ballroom contest, while Janette Manrara will get a new co-host on spinoff show It Takes Two after Rylan Clark stepped down.
All four members of the judging panel - Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and Motsi Mabuse - are back, despite recent rumours that they were engaged in a pay dispute with producers.
The entire professional dance troupe from 2022 will be back, apart from Cameron Lombard, a South African dancer who joined the lineup two years ago but never gained a professional partner.
The news means returns for Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Graziano Di Prima, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Giovanni Pernice, Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola.
Exec producer Sarah James said: "Excitement is already building for the 21st series of Strictly and we are so lucky to have the best team in the business both on and off camera.
"Our amazing presenters, incredible panel of judges and world class professional dancers are ready to bring the sparkle back to your screens this Autumn. We can't wait!"
The new series begins on BBC One in September. body check tags ::
