Season 5 (2007)
The fifth season of Strictly Come Dancing aired on BBC One in late 2007, featuring sixteen celebrity contestants—the largest lineup so far—paired with professional dancers. Hosted by Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly, the judging panel remained the same: Len Goodman, Arlene Phillips, Craig Revel Horwood, and Bruno Tonioli. Alesha Dixon, a former Mis-Teeq singer, and her partner Matthew Cutler won the series, dominating the competition with consistently high scores. Her incredible improvement and charisma captivated audiences. Season 5 marked a turning point for Strictly, setting new standards and proving its growing influence in British television entertainment. (AI Generated). More on Wikipedia.
