The fourth series of Strictly Come Dancing started on 7 October 2006 and ended on 23 December. Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly returned to co-present the main show on BBC One, whilst Claudia Winkleman returned to present spin-off show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two on BBC Two for the third series in a row. Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Arlene Phillips returned as judges. The winner was Mark Ramprakash and his dancing partner Karen Hardy.

The show

For more information, see the main article.

Each week, Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly present a show in which celebrities meet up with professional dancers to compete against each other for the most points. Each couple in a set order will perform their dance targeting to impress judges Craig Revel Horwood, Arlene Phillips, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli and the public who each week vote for who they would like to see next week. After the dance, the judges will comment on how well they performed and give a score out of 10. Once, all the couples have danced they are inserted in ranking order on the judges' leaderboard. The couple (s) who have the highest score will get the maximum points available (depending on how many couples are dancing that week) and the lowest scoring couple (s) will get one point. The public may end up disagreeing with the judges so this means there will be an unexpected elimination. There is a bottom two survival in which the lowest scoring couples battle it out one last time. Whoever gets the least overall points is eliminated and are asked to perform one last dance (usually hugging or lifts rather than a certain dance content.) This is not judged.

Couples

This year there were 14 couples: 7 male celebrities and 7 female celebrities. They were:
