It's to do with the professional dancers

Strictly Come Dancing has been on our screens for many years, but the popular TV show is set to make a big change later this year when it returns. Speaking to Digital Spy, the BBC confirmed that the Strictly Come Dancing pros will be getting their own one-off show!

Although it hasn't been confirmed when it will air, it's thought the one-off episode will be shown during the usual gap between the first and second episodes of the series. This special episode will follow the journeys of the professional dancers and choreographers, as well as showcasing some of the most memorable moments of the show.
