Watch: Tasha Ghouri tells all on Strictly rehearsals
Strictly Come Dancing has confirmed its guest for the Christmas special, with the audience being treated to something spicy…
The annual episode sees various celebrities take to the iconic dancefloor as they seek to lift the festive-themed Glitterball Trophy, with the four judges – Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke – presiding over the action.
Ahead of its premiere on Christmas Day, the musical guest has now been confirmed, with Spice Girls’ member Emma Bunton set to perform a rendition of the group’s classic song, ‘2 Become 1’.
The cast for the special includes Josh Widdicombe, Tayce, Vogue Williams, Billy Monger, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Tamzin Outhwaite, with each celebrity performing a single routine in the hopes of impressing the judges and audience.
The group will be partnered by Karen Hauer, Kai Widdrington, Gorka Márquez, Nadiya Bychkova, Nancy Xu and Nikita Kuzmin respectively, with Márquez replacing the injured Carlos Gu.
The Christmas special comes after Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell were confirmed as the victors in the 22nd series of the show, with the comedian prevailing over Tasha Ghouri, JB Gill and Sarah Hadland.

“It’s astonishing,” said Chris following his triumph. “I don’t know what to say. I honestly thought I could go out in the first week or two. I know nobody went out in the first week but I still thought I could go out.”
“She [Dianne] has got so much out of me – she deserves this so much. She’s one of the easiest people to be funny with. This is for her and for everyone who got told they couldn’t do something,” continued Chris, with Dianne adding that the trophy was for “both of [them].”
