It’s that time of year already – you can apply for tickets to the launch show of Strictly Come Dancing.

As always the launch is being filmed over two days – one day being the red carpet event and the other the show where the partners are paired up.

They take place on August 30 and 31.

You can apply through the random draw on the BBC ticket website.

All that means the launch show itself will be on air on Saturday September 3rd and that means Autumn is on its way!
