The launch consisted of celebs discovering their professional partners for the first time, although it was revealed instead via the video link in the post-COVID change.

This would allow the couples to create their own individual ‘bubbles’ for training and performances, which means the stars will stay some distance from each other during filming.

After all of the couples were announced, the celebs and their professional partners had to take the floor to perform with contestant Jimmy after he injured himself during the group routine at the 2019 launch show.

This year has already seen pros pre-record all of their group shows while quarantining together at a hotel, and couples have formed separate bubbles to practice and perform together.

The series will still have a live audience, however fans will sit in small groups and will only be allowed to attend if they are from the same family or bubble.

Elsewhere during the show, pros were dazzled by an exciting introductory routine with judges Shirley Palace, Mutsi Mabuz and Craig Revel Horwood on separate platforms to ensure the program adheres to COVID-19 safety guidelines.

Fourth judge Bruno Tonioli was unable to return to the UK from his home in Los Angeles to film due to the Covid-19 crisis and his business commitments to Dancing with the Stars.

He’s spent the past fifteen years commuting between the US and the UK for the shows, but travel restrictions due to the coronavirus have spoiled his schedule.

Also during the show, presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winckelmann got together with the couple to make sure they stand at least two meters apart throughout the episode.

How is Strictly 2020 going through the COVID-19 pandemic?

Strictly Come Dancing introduced a raft of strict measures to ensure the new series continues during the COVID-19 crisis.

Celebrity contestants and their professional partners are being tested regularly, with cast and crew told to isolate if they contract the virus.

Presidents have already confirmed that any celebrity who tested positive once the series begins will be dropped from the show, with reports of celebrities on standby.

The professional dancers have already pre-recorded their group shows after isolating them together at a hotel.

It is also claimed that celebrities and professionals would be excluded from the show if caught kissing while filming.

2020 also saw the series shorten to just nine weeks, with 12 celebrities participating instead of the usual fifteen.

The exhibition’s annual trip to Blackpool has been canceled, along with this year’s Halloween and Christmas specials.

Only three referees – Craig Reville Horwood, Shirley Palace and Mutsi Mapuse – will be in the studio with separate stands, after Bruno Tonioli was unable to attend due to travel concerns.

Veteran judge Bruno has said he will be appearing remotely and hopes to return full-time at the end of the series while filming the American version of the show in Los Angeles.

With a limited studio staff, large sets may not be built – so producers will use augmented reality, which adds computer-generated items.

To make sure contestants can work closely with their partners, they will “ train, ” along with testing them regularly.

It will remain a strictly live audience, however fans will be seated in groups at separate tables, and will only attend if they are from the same family or bubblegum.
