Season 6 (2008)
The sixth season of Strictly Come Dancing aired on BBC One from September to December 2008, featuring sixteen celebrity contestants paired with professional dancers. Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly returned as hosts, with judges Len Goodman, Arlene Phillips, Craig Revel Horwood, and Bruno Tonioli. Actor Tom Chambers and his partner Camilla Dallerup won the competition, delivering consistently impressive performances. Singer Rachel Stevens and presenter Lisa Snowdon were runners-up. Notably, political journalist John Sergeant withdrew from the competition despite public support, citing that remaining would be a "joke too far. This season maintained the show's popularity, with high viewer engagement and memorable routines, solidifying Strictly Come Dancing's status as a Saturday night favourite. (AI Generated).
