Ashley Roberts, Danny Mac, Jay McGuiness and Layton Williams are back!

Strictly Come Dancing has revealed that four celebrities will return to the ballroom for one night only, for a spectacular group dance as part of this year's Blackpool specials on the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd November.

Ashley Roberts, Danny Mac, Jay McGuiness and Layton Williams will join forces with Strictly's Professional Dancers for a dazzling routine that will see them each revisit one of their most famous Strictly moments, before coming together for a joyful celebration of dance in the lavish surroundings of The Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

Jay McGuiness was crowned Strictly champion in 2015, with Danny Mac and Ashley Roberts reaching the finals of their Strictly series in 2016 and 2018 respectively, and Layton becoming a Strictly finalist most recently, in 2023.

All four danced in Blackpool as part of their series. The new routine will feature elements of Jay and Ashley's iconic Jives, Danny's famous Samba, and Layton's showstopping Quickstep.

Strictly Come Dancing's 2025 Blackpool Saturday live show will open with a huge performance from Steps of their biggest hits, accompanied by the Strictly Professional Dancers, celebrities and the four judges.

The returning finalists' routine, choreographed by Jason Gilkinson, will air as part of Blackpool's Sunday results show, which will also feature a very special performance from Lewis Capaldi, accompanied by the Strictly Professionals.

On returning to Strictly, Ashley Roberts said "I’m so excited and grateful to be back on the shiny floor in Blackpool again. Nearly a decade later, let’s see if these jive legs can still do their thing! Sequins always help, I’m sure."

To which Danny Mac added "Dancing in Blackpool was an absolute highlight of my time on Strictly. To be heading back up to The Tower Ballroom once again is as thrilling as it is terrifying, but I can’t wait to be reunited with all the wonderful people who make this show."

On his return to Strictly, Jay McGuiness said "I feel extremely lucky to be part of the Strictly alumni that are going to shake our booties again. I’m ready to have some fun with the old gang and the new gang."

To which Layton Williams added "I'm absolutely buzzing to be back on THE most iconic dance floor there is. Blackpool brings back so many fab memories and it's a true honour to be invited back... Let's hope I’ve still got it, eh?!"

Strictly Come Dancing continues this weekend, where the eight remaining couples will fight for their place in Blackpool. This weekend's episodes will also feature a guest performance from Olly Murs, plus Strictly's first-ever collaboration between the Strictly Professionals and Diversity, for a group number that sees Hip Hop collide with the Golden Age of Hollywood.
