(Main article: Strictly Come Dancing) The Christmas Specials of Strictly Come Dancing have been transmitted by BBC Television each year since 2004. Early editions contained a selection of contestants from the most recent and occasionally previous seasons of the show, however from the 2010 special to the 2013 special, the competition has been contested by celebrities who are unable to compete in the main series due to time constrictions. With their professional dance partners the celebrities perform their chosen Ballroom or Latin dance which is then marked by the judges. The winning couple is chosen by a studio audience vote.
