Description:
Starring Fury from Gladiators and marking Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman's last hurrah, here's how to watch Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 2025.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

As Fury, arguably Gladiators ' biggest breakout star, Jodie Ounsley is best-known for trying to reduce rivals to human jam with a huge smile on her face. Jodie is one of six celebrities competing in the Strictly Christmas Special, and she'll have to fight her instincts if Neil Jones is to come through the 75-minute festive feature unscathed.

You can watch Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 2025 online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.

Premiere: Thu, Dec 25 at 5.30pm GMT

Watch free: BBC iPlayer (UK)

Use NordVPN to watch any stream

Being a former international rugby player, Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion and. the Guinness World Record holder for the fastest 50m sprint... while carrying a 20kg bag of coal, Jodie's certainly got the athleticism, but one of her rivals for the title of Strictly Christmas Champion has actual dancing experience .

Comedian and podcaster Babatunde Alsh dabbled in street-locking and break-dancing back in the day, and we're about to find out if he's holding back out of modesty or setting himself up for an embarrassing fall. His
fellow I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and Gogglebox alumnus Scarlett Moffatt, meanwhile, is a self-confessed super fan of the show.

Rounding out the cast are Nicholas Bailey, aka Dr Anthony Trueman from EastEnders , Brian McFadden from Westlife and Melanie Blatt from All Saints. On a recent appearance on Nevermind the Buzzcocks , Melanie's powers of recollection would have made a goldfish blush, so it's possible that Kai Widdrington has drawn the short straw.

As the last hurrah for both Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, it's drawn a primetime slot on the 2025 British Christmas TV schedule. Read on as we explain how to watch Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 2025 from anywhere. Can I watch Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 2025 for free?
