What time is Strictly Come Dancing 2020 on tonight and who are the celebrity contestants?

It may be a little later than usual but Strictly Come Dancing is finally back.

Twelve celebrities and their new professional dance partners will take to the Strictly ballroom tonight for their first competitive dance of the series.

The launch show last Saturday saw viewers find out which pairings they will get to watch and get a taste of what dancing skills they do - or do not - have.

Caroline Quentin, Maisie Smith, Bill Bailey, Nicola Adams and Max George are among the celebs line-up to take part.

There will be a significant change to the judging line-up as the flamboyant Bruno Tonioli will miss the series due to working commitments in America.

That means it's down to head judge Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood to make the decisions.

The Strictly 2020 competition officially begins tonight (Saturday) at 7.25pm on BBC One.

This series is shorter this year starting in October instead of September because of the pandemic.

Here's the list of the celebrities and their professional partners:

Caroline Quentin and Johannes Radebe

Clara Amfo and Aljaz Skorjanec

Jacqui Smith and Anton Du Beke

Ranvir Singh and Giovanni Pernice

Nicola Adams and Katya Jones

Maisie Smith and Gorka Marquez.

JJ Chalmers and Amy Dowden

Bill Bailey and Oti Mabuse

Max George and Dianne Buswell

HRVY and Janette Manrara

Jason Bell and Luba Mushtuk

Jamie Laing and Karen Hauer
