How to watch Strictly Come Dancing 2021 online for free and from anywhere

Fifteen couples have taken to the Elstree Studio Strictly ballroom, with one celebrity knocked out of the competition every week. This past Sunday saw another make their exit as the competition well and truly heats up and we're just one live show between the final and one triumphant pair lifting the Strictly Glitterball above their heads. Make sure you're all caught up and know how to watch Strictly Come Dancing online live and on-demand from anywhere.

From pop stars to comedians, Olympians to news presenters, Strictly's Class of 2021 introduced another wave of celebrities to the world of dance. 

Down to just five couples in the quarter-final, AJ Odudu has impressed judges from the get-go with her partner, Kai Widdrington - one of the new professionals to this year's series of Strictly. Then there's Rose Aylin-Ellis, the actress known for playing Frankie Lewis in Eastenders, and her partner Giovanni Pernice. She is the first deaf contestant to take part in Strictly, paving the way for more conversation on accessibility on TV and streaming platforms.

Professional chef John Whaite is partnered with Strictly pro Johannes Radebe as the first same-sex male couple ever to compete in the competition, while children presenter Rhys Stephenson joins forces with another new pro, Nancy Xu. The underdog of the show this year is BBC news presenter Dan Walker and his partner, Nadiya Bychkova.

Covid rules for Strictly Come Dancing 2021

Although the country is well on its way back to normality (touch wood), the Strictly producers aren't taking any risks and have Covid-19 measures in place again in 2021. 

This time around anyone working on the show will be tested weekly and professional dancers will bubble up with their celebrities like last year. 

The group numbers for the series have already been filmed and there will be no group chats with Claudia and Tess, with couples sat in the audience instead, which will also be of limited numbers. 

The shortened isolation period after a positive test from fourteen days to ten should help the show to run smoother. Last year a positive test meant that the first same-sex couple on the show, Nicola Adams and Katya Jones, had to leave the competition early. However, the new rules should allow anyone that does test positive to miss a single week of live shows rather than end their time in the ballroom entirely.

How to watch Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two

The Strcitly Come Dancing spin off show, It Takes Two, will return this month to curb that Strictly fever between live shows. The show will be back every weeknight to give you all of the behind the scenes exclusives. 

You can tune in to Strictly: It Takes Two on BBC Two at 6.30pm BST Monday to Friday. The half an hour show kicks off on Monday September 27 and will air for the duration of Strictly Come Dancing 2021. Remember, you can watch free on the iPlayer live or on demand. 

After a ten year stint on the show, Zoe Ball won't be returning in 2021. But fear not, the tea time show is in safe hands, with Ball's co-presenter, Rylan Clark-Neal, and long established professional dancer, Janette Marara, taking over presenting duties on It Takes Two this year. 

The sideshow is usually packed with training footage, interviews, opinions from the judges and much more, so for unseen behind the scenes extras, it's worth tuning in.
