Season 7 (2009)

The seventh season of Strictly Come Dancing aired on BBC One in 2009, featuring sixteen celebrity contestants paired with professional dancers. Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly returned as hosts, with judges Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli, and new judge Alesha Dixon, replacing Arlene Phillips. Sports presenter Chris Hollins and his partner Ola Jordan won the series, beating runner-up Ricky Whittle in the final. Despite lower judges’ scores, Hollins’ charm and improvement won over the public.
