Series 20

**Series 20** of Strictly Come Dancing aired on BBC One on September 23, 2022 to December 17, 2022. The series was presented by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. The judging panel consisted of Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke.

Hamza Yassin and his professional partner Jowita Przystal were announced as the winners.

## Format

The couples dance each week in a live show. The judges score each performance out of ten. The couples are then ranked according to the judges' scores and given points according to their rank, with the lowest scored couple receiving one point, and the highest scored couple receiving the most points (the maximum number of points available depends on the number of couples remaining in the competition). The public are also invited to vote for their favourite couples, and the couples are ranked again according to the number of votes they receive, again receiving points; the couple with the fewest votes receiving one point, and the couple with the most votes receiving the most points.

The points for judges' score and public vote are then added together, and the two couples with the fewest points are placed in the bottom two. If two couples have equal points, the points from the public vote are given precedence. As with the previous series, the bottom two couples have to perform a dance-off on the results show. Based on that performance alone, each judge then votes on which couple should stay and which couple should leave, with Shirley Ballas, as head judge, having the last and deciding vote.
