Strictly is waltzing its way back onto our TV screens, and with it comes It Takes Two.
The spin-off is returning on 25 September, with hosts Janette Manrara and Fleur East ready to give fans the lowdown on the BBC ballroom contest.
The show has become a massive part of Strictly, with viewers tuning in for backstage gossip, inside info and interviews with contestants.

But while it’s loved by viewers, the programme has certainly had its share of awkward incidents over the years.
We have a look back at a few memorable moments.
Janette’s Rose Ayling-Ellis blunder

Janette left viewers cringing in 2021 when she appeared to ask Rose-Ayling Ellis – the show’s first ever deaf contestant – her thoughts on a song.
The stars were talking about Rose and her pro partner Giovanni Pernice performing to Clean Bandit’s Symphony, which Janette described as a “banger”.
The song was then played and the TV star asked Rose and Gio: “When you hear that music, how does it make you feel?”
Fans were stunned, with some taking to Twitter to share their thoughts on the slip up.
“Can’t believe she asked a deaf person how she feels when she hears the music!!!” said one.
Seann Walsh’s ‘drunk video’ comment

Comedian Seann went on the show in 2018 and there was a seriously awkward moment as he talked about his final dance with pro partner Katya Jones.
“It’s like watching a drunk video from the night before,” he told then host Zoe Ball.
Seann’s choice of words was a little odd, because it wasn’t long after he and Katya had been snapped kissing in the street after a night out.
The pair were in hot water after the photo emerged, as Seann was dating actress Rebecca Humphries and Katya was married to fellow dancer Neil Jones.
Seann and Rebecca split up amid the scandal.
Katya and Neil broke up months later, but insisted the smooch drama wasn’t the reason.

Last year things seemed to get a little frosty when Katya apparently told her celebrity partner Tony Adams that he deserved his less than impressive marks.
The pair only managed to get 19 from the judges, and Tony was a bit dismissive when listening to the panel critique him, telling Shirley Ballas: “Go home.”
He and Katya later appeared on It Takes Two and Tony revealed his partner hadn’t held back when it came to serving up a home truth.
“She said I got what I deserved,” he claimed.
Janette quizzed Katya about the whole thing, and she replied: “You’ve got to admit you did go wrong!”
