Strictly Come Dancing's judges wil go up “against each other” to do a big dance number alongside the professionals, a sneak peek has revealed. Dressed in black, judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse show the contestants what they are looking for as the celebrity dancing show returns to TV on Saturday, 16 September.
Anton is seen looking serious with a black hat, patterned top and dark trousers while Craig opts for more of a French mime look including a black and white striped top, red scarf and suspenders. Craig, 58, said: “Well, it’s very exciting.
So I’m doing an assisted backward walk-over darling, which I’ve never done before, it’s when you drop into two boys’ arms, flip over and land hopefully on your feet, so that’ll be good fun. It’s really stylised, I really love the music and it’s a compilation and it’s all four judges going up against each other.” Images also show 63-year-old 'Queen of Latin' Shirley lunge in a black dress with a pink rosette as she is surrounded by fan-wielding Strictly professionals.
She said: “The audience is in for a real treat, my dance shoes are back out and it feels amazing. I’ve been put through my paces but to be dancing with my fellow judges and the professional dancers is a feeling like no other.” Anton said the number is “amazingly brilliant” and the judges are “on great form as well”.
The 57-year-old was the longest-serving professional dancer on Strictly, having been a fixture on the BBC One series since it began, until he swapped the dancefloor for the judging panel to take over from Bruno Tonioli permanently in 2021.
