List Of Winners Of Strictly Come Dancing

Hey there, dance fans! Buckle up as we take a whirlwind tour through the glittering world of Strictly Come Dancing, dishing out the dirt, the dazzle, and the downright bizarre. You won't want to miss this!

Where It All Began

Back in 2004, Strictly took its first tentative steps onto our screens, and boy, has it come a long way! From humble beginnings, it's grown into a sequin-clad beast, capturing our hearts and Saturday nights.

Series 1: The Pioneers

In the inaugural series, the trophy went to Natasha Kaplinsky and her partner Brendan Cole. Now, that's a name you don't hear every day, right? But wait, it gets weirder.

Natasha was a journalist, not an actress or a pop star. She was the first 'normal' person to win, setting the stage for future contestants who'd rather be jiving than juggling.

Stars in Their Eyes

Since then, we've seen a galaxy of stars strut their stuff. From Geri Halliwell to Louis Smith, Caroline Flack to Stacey Dooley, they've all given it their best shot.

But here's a fun fact for you: no professional dancer has ever won with a celebrity partner. Isn't that just the cherry on top of this crazy cake?

Series 16: The Curse Strikes Again

Remember Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley? They won in 2018, and then, plot twist, they started dating! Yep, Strictly has a habit of turning partners into... well, something else.

It's like a real-life dance-off version of Beauty and the Beast, folks. And we. Can't. Get. Enough.

When Things Get Weird

Now, let's talk weird. Because Strictly isn't just about the glitz and the glamour. Oh no, it's also about the... well, the weird.

Take Seann Walsh and Katie Piper, for instance. In 2018, they did a dance-off to Never Gonna Give You Up. Yes, you read that right. Rick Astley's classic was used as a Strictly dance-off song. And you thought this was weird!

Series 17: The Year of the... Um... 'Incident'

Remember when Seann Walsh and his partner, Katya Jones, were caught snogging in the street? Yikes! Talk about a Strictly kiss-and-tell.

But hey, at least it gave us a good laugh, right? And let's face it, a bit of drama is just what Strictly needs to keep things interesting.
