Johannes Radebe is already a familiar face to Strictly viewers, having established himself as one of the show’s professional dancers before taking on his presenting role.

Will there be Celebrity Traitors stars in the Strictly audience?

There could also be some recognisable faces in the audience tonight, including celebrities associated with The Celebrity Traitors.

The BBC’s ballroom show regularly attracts famous faces to the studio, so viewers will want to keep an eye on the audience as the performances get underway.

For fans watching both programmes, tonight could offer a chance to spot some familiar faces away from the Celebrity Traitors castle.

What else is on BBC One before Strictly?

If you’re tuning into BBC One early tonight, The Celebrity Inner Circle with Amanda Holden airs at 5.30pm.

The programme is also available on BBC iPlayer.
