Strictly 2025 Christmas Special celebs revealed

The Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 2025 will sparkle as six couples compete beneath the glitterball, each hoping to claim the crown as Strictly’s Christmas Champion.

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman host the yuletide extravaganza for the very last time, while judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke deliver their trademark mix of dazzling praise, seasonal cheer, and a few cheeky lumps of coal. In the end, it’s the studio audience who will cast the final vote to decide the winner.

Step into a sparkling winter wonderland bursting with holiday magic, spectacular group routines, live music, and plenty of surprises — the ultimate pick‑me‑up after your Christmas feast.

Scarlett Moffat, the much‑loved presenter and TV personality who first captured hearts on Gogglebox before triumphing in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2016, is stepping into the Strictly spotlight once again.

Scarlett Moffatt said: ‘Strictly has always held a special place in my heart, so being part of the Christmas Special feels truly magical. It’s the show that brings everyone together around the TV, and being part of that is a genuine personal and career highlight. I’m sure it’ll also introduce me to a few muscles I didn’t know I had. I can’t wait to live my best life on that dancefloor.’

Melanie Blatt, celebrated both as a singer and cook, first shot to global stardom in the 1990s as part of the multi‑platinum, award‑winning group All Saints.

This Christmas, she’ll step back into the spotlight, teaming up with Strictly pro Kai Widdrington to dazzle under the glitterball in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.

Melaine Blatt said: ‘If you can’t have a dance at Christmas, when can you?! I’m so excited to meet Kai and start training to make this a dance to remember.’

With glitter, glamour, and a dash of festive fun, the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 2025 promises to be the perfect seasonal celebration. As the couples twirl under the glitterball and the judges deliver their verdicts, only one pair will claim the crown — but everyone will leave with a little extra sparkle this Christmas.
