Series chronology |
The series was won by BBC Sport presenter Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton. Oduba became the first champion to have ever landed in the bottom two more than once. This series also saw Kevin Clifton reach his fourth consecutive final, a 'Strictly' first.
Professional dancers
On 28 June 2016, the list of professionals who were returning for the fourteenth series was revealed. Professionals from the last series who will not return include last series' and two time professional winner of the show Aliona Vilani, former professional winner Ola Jordan, and two time professional finalist Kristina Rihanoff as well as Gleb Savchenko and Tristan MacManus. Joanne Clifton will partner a celebrity after one series out of the competition. The leaving professionals will be replaced by Katya Jones and her husband Neil Jones, Burn the Floor dancer Gorka Márquez, former Dancing with the Stars U.S. troupe member Oksana Platero and ex-Britain's Got Talent contestants AJ Pritchard, and Chloe Hewitt.[3][4] Because the professional dancers outnumbered the celebrities, Chloe Hewitt and Neil Jones did not partner a celebrity, although they were on standby for any pro that may be injured or unable to compete and still did group dances and appear on the Strictly companion programme, It Takes Two.[5]
Couples
On 8 August 2016, former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls was announced as the first celebrity contestant on the series,[6] with more celebrities being announced throughout the month. The line up was completed on 22 August on The One Show.[7]
On 11 October, pop star Will Young announced that he was leaving the show for "personal reasons".[8]
