Series Four Hosts Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly
|
The legendary Bruce Forsyth and his glamorous co-host Tess Daly presented the show.
The judges for the competition were Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood, Arlene Phillips and Bruno Tonioli.
There was a change to the format of the competition in 2006 compared to that of 2005. In week one the boys were dancing to stay in the competition whilst the girls entertained with a group mambo.
In week two we saw the female celebrities fighting to stay in the competition whilst the men kicked back with a group West Coast meets East Coast swing dance-off.
In week three all the couples were competing against each other. They performed either the jive or the tango.
All the proceeds from viewer voting will go towards BBC Children in Need, which in 2005 raised over £1.5 million.
Strictly Come Dancing – It Takes Two was broadcasted on BBC TWO with Claudia Winkleman everyday apart from the weekends. It featured exclusive footage from rehearsals and the trainings in addition to interviews with judges and the contestants.
