Strictly Come Dancing 2025 Kicks Off with a Bang!

Hey, SoCal dance lovers, get your glitter on because Strictly Come Dancing 2025 is bringing the heat straight to your screens! The final pairings for this year’s season have just been confirmed, and let me tell you, the ballroom is about to light up brighter than a Santa Monica sunset. Whether you’re tuning in from the heart of LA or beyond, this season promises to be a total vibe with drama, dazzle, and some serious moves.

Aside from the hotly anticipated pairings, there’s a whole lotta goodies lined up for Strictly fans. We’re talking star-studded performances and nostalgic throwbacks that’ll have you reaching for the tissues faster than a Hollywood rom-com ending. Stick with us as we break down the must-see moments of this season’s kickoff!

Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell Steal the Spotlight

Last year’s champs, Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell, are making a triumphant return to the Strictly ballroom, and it’s giving major red carpet energy. The duo will reprise their iconic waltz from the 2024 series, a performance so emotional it had everyone - from the judges to fans on Venice Beach - bawling their eyes out. When they danced it in last year’s finale, they snagged a perfect score, and we’re betting this encore will be just as jaw-dropping.

'Stepping back onto that floor with Dianne feels like coming home - we’re ready to bring the magic again!' - Chris McCausland

If you thought that was all, think again! Their original performance was a tearjerker of epic proportions, and we’ve got a feeling this reprisal will hit just as hard. So, grab your popcorn and maybe a tissue or two - this is one dance you don’t wanna miss.

More Glitz and Glam with Jessie J and New Pros

The Strictly ballroom is getting an extra dose of star power with none other than Jessie J set to perform live. Expect her to bring that fierce SoCal summer energy to the stage, hyping up the crowd and setting the tone for an unforgettable night. It’s the kind of performance that’ll have you dancing in your living room from DTLA to Malibu.

Plus, we’ve got two fresh faces joining the pro lineup - Julian Caillon and Alexis Carr. We’re beyond stoked to see what these newbies bring to the floor, with their moves ready to shake up the competition like a 6.0 on the Richter scale. Keep your eyes peeled for their debut - we’ve got a hunch they’re gonna be the talk of the town!
