When can I buy tickets?
Tickets go on general sale from 8am on Friday September 22. Eager Strictly fans can also sign up now for early priority booking, which opens at 8am on Wednesday September 20.

Oduba will be joined by regular Strictly judges Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood (who will also direct the show).
