Strictly Come Dancing returned for its twelfth series beginning from 7 September 2014 with a launch show,[1] and the live shows began on 26 and 27 September.[2] Tess Daly returned to present the main show on BBC One alongside Claudia Winkleman, who was promoted to co-presenter in addition to the results show after Sir Bruce Forsyth departed the show after the eleventh series;[3] however, Forsyth continued to host the Christmas and Children in Need specials.[4] Zoe Ball returned as presenter of the spin-off show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two on BBC Two. Judges Darcey Bussell, Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood, and Bruno Tonioli also returned.[5]

The shows from 1 to 16 November were hosted by Daly and Zoe Ball, after one of Winkleman's children was involved in an accident.[6][7] Winkleman returned to co-host the show on 22 November.[8]

Caroline Flack and Pasha Kovalev were announced as the winners on 20 December.[9]

Format

[edit]
Further information: Strictly Come Dancing § Format

The couples dance each week in a live show. The judges score each performance out of ten. The couples are then ranked according to the judges' scores and given points according to their rank, with the lowest scored couple receiving one point, and the highest scored couple receiving the most points (the maximum number of points available depends on the number of couples remaining in the competition). The public are also invited to vote for their favourite couples, and the couples are ranked again according to the number of votes they receive, again receiving points; the couple with the fewest votes receiving one point, and the couple with the most votes receiving the most points.

The points for judges' score and public vote are then added together, and the two couples with the fewest points are placed in the bottom two. If two couples have equal points, the points from the public vote are given precedence. As with the previous series, the bottom two couples have to perform a dance-off on the results show. Based on that performance alone, each judge then votes on which couple should stay and which couple should leave, with Len Goodman, as head judge, having the last and deciding vote.

Professional dancers

[edit]

On 1 June 2014, it was revealed that Artem Chigvintsev, Anya Garnis, and James Jordan would not return as professionals,[10] but that Garnis would still be part of the choreography team. They were replaced by two new professionals, Joanne Clifton and Tristan MacManus, as well as Natalie Lowe, who returned after missing the last series due to a foot injury.[11] On 6 August, it was announced that Robin Windsor would not be competing as a professional in the series as previously announced due to a back injury; he was replaced by Trent Whiddon.[12]

Couples

[edit]

This series featured fifteen celebrity contestants. Frankie Bridge was the first contestant announced on 13 August,[13] and additional celebrities were announced throughout the month. The full line-up was revealed by the BBC on 29 August.[14]

Reception

[edit]

Donny Osmond's role as a judge in week three was panned by viewers, as he, unlike the other judges, was not a professional dancer. Viewers also deemed his scoring too inconsistent, as he awarded unusually high marks, including the first ten of the series.[53][54]
