Whilst we all wait and see if the 2020 series of Strictly Come Dancing will go ahead later this year, bosses of the popular dancing show have announced a special series of the programme, featuring hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.

The pair will present the three-part show from their homes, with judges Shirley Ballas, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Moti Mabuse, as they take a look back at some of the most memorable moments from the last 16 years.

Whether it's Kelvin Fletcher's snake hips, Ore Oduba's Jive, or THAT Ann Widdecombe routine, the special series will take a look back at what has made the show such a success since it first hit our TV screens in 2014.

Although an air date for the new show hasn't yet been announced, a number of the show's professional dancers are also set to join the virtual panel, live from their own homes.

Meanwhile, although bosses are doing everything in their power to make sure the 2020 series will go ahead, it's not yet been confirmed if this will happen.

Rumours were rife last week that a number of A-list stars were keen to sign up for the show, with bosses reportedly even considering making this year's celebs go into lockdown with their professional partners.

But right now, we will have to wait and see what happens.
