Strictly Come Dancing 2019 start date: When will the launch show air?

Who will be the top of the leader board?

Well, it's not too long to find out as Strictly Come Dancing is almost back on our screens on BBC One.

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be back to present our favourite dancing contest as our new batch of celebrities - including the likes of RuPaul's Drag Race star Michelle Visage and EastEnders star Emma Barton - face scrutiny from the four judges.

This year, however, regulars Craig Revel-Horwood , Bruno Tonioli , and Shirley Ballas are now joined by Oti Mabuse's own sister Motsi Mabuse.

We're she'll put the dancers through their paces.

So, when is Strictly Come Dancing back for its 2019 series?

The Strictly Come Dancing 2019 series will air its launch show on Monday, August 26, 2019 , on BBC One.

This episode will be the glitzy red carpet event that shows off this year's stars.

The competition will launch fully on September 7, 2019.

The final usually airs in mid December to give a little break between the series finale and the Christmas special that is shown on Christmas Day.

All in all, we can't wait to have the series back!
