Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the series will be filmed without a live audience for the first time in the show's history, and the judges will be separated by perspex screens. The celebrities and their professional partners formed bubbles in order to work together safely.[3] The background music created by Paul Farrer in 2018 also received a new higher pitch and a new, faster tempo.
Professional skaters
On 24 June 2020, it was announced that Alex Murphy, the show's reigning champion, had not been re-contracted for the upcoming series, and on 19 July 2020, that Brianne Delcourt would be leaving the show to spend more time with her husband, Kevin Kilbane, who she partnered last series.[4][5] On 30 August 2020, it was announced that Alexander Demetriou and Carlotta Edwards wouldn't be returning.[6] On 7 October 2020, it was announced that Jess Hatfield, Oscar Peter and Tom Naylor wouldn't be returning either. They were all replaced by returning professionals Andy Buchanan and Robin Johnstone and new professionals Angela Egan, Klabera Komini and Yebin Mok, along with Joe Johnson and Karina Manta who will lead the professional group routines.[7] Vicky Ogden, also a returning professional, joined the cast in week 4 following Matt Richardson's entry, but did not take part in the pre-recorded group routines.
Couples
On 20 September 2020, Myleene Klass was announced as the first celebrity to be participating in the series.[8] More celebrities were revealed in the following days, before the line-up was concluded on 4 October.[9] On 26 January 2021, Denise van Outen was forced to withdraw from the competition after suffering three bone fractures and partially dislocating her shoulder. Van Outen was replaced by former Olympic artistic gymnast Amy Tinkler, who made her debut in the competition in week 3.[10] Former Olympic skier and broadcaster Graham Bell was originally partnered with Yebin Mok, however after Mok sustained an injury before their first performance, Bell was re-partnered with Karina Manta. It was originally intended for Mok to return to the competition after her injury had healed, but Bell and Manta were eliminated before she had the opportunity to return.[11] On 3 February 2021, it was announced that Rufus Hound had tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him to withdraw from the competition. He was replaced by comedian and television presenter, Matt Richardson, who made his debut in the competition in week 4.[12] On 6 February 2021, Billie Shepherd was forced to withdraw from the competition after suffering a head injury in training.[13]
