STRICTLY Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has teased some “exciting changes” and “twists and turns” ahead of the new series.

The BBC One dancing programme will return to screens this Saturday with a host of new celebrity contestants, including Apprentice star Thomas Skinner, reality TV star Vicky Pattison, Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis and Love Island winner Dani Dyer-Bowen.
Ballas, 65, said: “Strictly is well and truly back - and more iconic than ever.
“It’s a true honour to be asked to return each year to a show that means so much to the nation.
“I get a front row seat to the best show on television, I mean who wouldn’t want that?
“I'm forever grateful and so very excited to see our brand-new celebrities take to the ballroom.”
