We’ve been loving the current series of Strictly. It’s had fantastic performances, a hint of scandal and the judges have all been on top form.
And next month, we’re in for a real treat – as the Strictly Come Dancing Children in Need special will air, featuring a host of Blue Peter presenters from past and present.
None other than Konnie Huq, Tim Vincent, Anthea Turner, Diane-Louise Jordan, Mark Curry and current host of the long-running CBBC show Radzi Chinyanganya will do battle on the dancefloor.
The prize? The special Pudsey Glitter Ball Trophy. Oh, and a lifetime of bragging rights at the annual Blue Peter Presenter Convention (if it exists.)
Konnie Huq, who won a Radio Times poll to discover the most popular Blue Peter presenter of all time, said: “I’ve got two left feet but hopefully we’ll put them right, well one of them anyway! Looking forward to it.”

And Mark Curry, who has also presented Catchphrase, added: “Blue Peter, Strictly Come Dancing and BBC Children in Need are some of the most famous programmes in television history.
“I’m proud to be a part of all three of these legendary shows by taking part in our Strictly special.”
Current Blue Peter host Radzi described the opportunity as “an absolute honour”, but admitted he was afraid of Craig Revel Horwood’s acid tongue.
He said: “Just keeping my fingers crossed that Craig is feeling kind..!”
The special episode of Strictly Come Dancing will be presented by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman and will air as part of the BBC Children in Need 2017 appeal show on Friday 17th November on BBC1.
Last year’s version of the special saw Team GB athletes Helen Glover, Joe Clarke, Hollie Webb and Lutalo Muhammad battle it out for the prize.
And Olympian Lutalo Muhammad got the win that time around, the taekwondo expert dazling with his moves.

We don’t know about you, but we’re extremely excited for this – November can’t come soon enough.
