Joe was a former contestant and Strictly Come Dancing finalist in 2018, so knows the challenges of taking to the ballroom floor for the first time, and Kim has worked behind the scenes in a variety of roles, from researcher to producer, and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the show.

Listeners can expect to hear interviews and games with the contestants, professional dancers, judges, and presenters plus backstage heroes from the production team who make the show sparkle!

Joe Sugg says: “I’m so happy to be back with Kim on the podcast, ready to absorb all the fun from the ballroom. I absolutely loved my time on the show and I’m really excited to see what skills and surprises the celebs can bring this year.”

Kim Winston said: “I’m so thrilled that it’s finally the return of Strictly! I can’t wait to get back in the studio with Joe for the games, the glitz and the glam behind the ballroom. I’ve always been obsessed with Strictly, so getting to do the podcast with Joe is a real treat. We can’t wait for the listeners to hear all of the exclusive inside access, behind the scenes and fun that we’ll no doubt get from this year’s fabulous lineup of dancers.”

This year’s Strictly lineup includes the likes of Fleur East, Tony Adams MBE, Hamza Yassin and Ellie Simmonds.

Episode one of Strictly Come Dancing: The Official Podcast will be released on Sunday 25 September. Each episode will be released on Sunday evenings following the Strictly results show, and is available on BBC Sounds.
