The People's Strictly for Comic Relief: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

From Wednesday 25th February at 9pm on BBC One, The People's Strictly will follow six people as they take part in their very own Strictly experience, presented by Tess Daley and Claudia Winkleman. The contestants were chosen from thousands of nominees, selected for their selfless acts of charity; all playing a part in changing others' lives for the better.

Over four episodes, our six contestants will be partnered up with their very own Strictly Come Dancing professional dance partner, before learning a Ballroom or Latin American dance, which they will perform on the Strictly Come Dancing Ballroom floor in the final episode.

Their dances will be judged and scored by Head Judge Len Goodman, as well as Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and professional dancer, Anton Du Beke. The Judges' scores will be for guidance only, and the public will have the deciding vote. The People's Strictly Champion will be crowned on March 13th, as part of the live Comic Relief show on BBC One, and the money raised will be spent helping to change the lives of poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the UK and across Africa.
