The annual events sees former stars Robbie Savage, Katie Derham, Jeremy Vine, Kimberley Walsh, Judy Murray and Colin Jackson take to the floor

Evening glitterbunnies, and a very merry Christmas to one and all.

Hopefully you’re having a fabulous Christmas Day, but just in case you’re in need some me-time, we’re here to add some bonus sparkle. This year’s Strictly Christmas Special features former stars Robbie Savage, Katie Derham, Jeremy Vine, Kimberley Walsh, Judy Murray and Colin Jackson – each performing a routine inspired by what they love most about Christmas. (Here’s hoping someone does a Samba involving too much cheese and a short nap.)

My money’s on Kimberley for the win, making up for being robbed by Louis Smith in 2012. There’s also a musical interlude from Kaiser Chiefs, which will presumably be something festive – I Predict A Diet anyone?

There’s no official liveblog for tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special, but we’d still love you to spread a little joy and sparkle in the comment box below. Have a wonderful time!
