Series 7

The sixth series of Strictly Come Dancing began on BBC One on 20 September 2008, with Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly returning as presenters, and Craig Revel Horwood, Arlene Phillips, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli returning as judges.[1]

The show features 16 new celebrities (two more than the previous series) who have been paired with 16 professional dancers. The new professionals are Brian Fortuna and Hayley Holt, who have previously appeared in the American and New Zealand versions of the show respectively,[2] and Russian dancer Kristina Rihanoff, who has taken part in the Dancing with the Stars tour. Nicole Cutler is the only professional from the previous series who will not be returning.[1]

The show

Further information: [[:Strictly Come Dancing#Format|Strictly Come Dancing § Format]]

The couples dance each week in a live show. The judges score each performance out of ten (with four judges giving a maximum score of forty). 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 will 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 Goodman (as head judge) having the last and casting vote.[3]

This year there are 16 couples: 8 male celebrities and 8 female celebrities.
