'''''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]''''' returned for its '''sixth series''' on 20 September 2008 on [[BBC One]]. [[Bruce Forsyth]] and [[Tess Daly]] returned as co-presenters of the main show on BBC One, while [[Claudia Winkleman]] returned to present the spin-off show ''[[Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two]]'' on [[BBC Two]]. [[Len Goodman]], [[Arlene Phillips]], [[Craig Revel Horwood]], and [[Bruno Tonioli]] returned as judges.<ref name="Strictly celebrities are unveiled">((cite news |title=Strictly celebrities are unveiled  |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7585656.stm |work=BBC News|date=28 August 2008 |access-date=28 August 2008 ))</ref> 

The show featured sixteen celebrities paired with sixteen professional dancers. The new professionals were [[Brian Fortuna]] and [[Hayley Holt]], who had previously appeared in the [[Dancing with the Stars (U.S. TV series)|American]] and [[Dancing with the Stars (New Zealand TV series)|New Zealand versions]] of the show respectively, and Russian dancer [[Kristina Rihanoff]], who had taken part in the ''[[Dancing with the Stars]]'' tour. [[Nicole Cutler]] was the only professional from the previous series not to return.<ref name="Strictly celebrities are unveiled"/>

On 20 December 2008, actor [[Tom Chambers (actor)|Tom Chambers]] and [[Camilla Dallerup]] were announced as the winners, while [[S Club 7]] singer [[Rachel Stevens]] and [[Vincent Simone]] finished in second place, and television presenter [[Lisa Snowdon]] and [[Brendan Cole]] finished in third.

==Format==
((Further|Strictly Come Dancing#Format))

The couples dance each week in a live show. The judges score each performance out of ten. The couples are then ranked according to the judges' scores and given points according to their rank, with the lowest scored couple receiving one point, and the highest scored couple receiving the most points (the maximum number of points available depends on the number of couples remaining in the competition). The public are also invited to vote for their favourite couples, and the couples are ranked again according to the number of votes they receive, again receiving points; the couple with the fewest votes receiving one point, and the couple with the most votes receiving the most points.

The points for judges' score and public vote are then added together, and the two couples with the fewest points are placed in the bottom two. If two couples have equal points, the points from the public vote are given precedence. As with the previous series, the bottom two couples have to perform a dance-off on the results show. Based on that performance alone, each judge then votes on which couple should stay and which couple should leave, with [[Len Goodman]], as head judge, having the last and [[casting vote|deciding vote]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedancing/about/show.shtml About the show], [[BBC]]</ref>

However, the situation was different on 13 December 2008, when it was announced on the live results show that all three couples would be going through to the finale, regardless of the judges' scores and the public vote. This was due to a tie at the top of the leaderboard, which made it mathematically impossible for [[Tom Chambers (actor)|Tom Chambers]] and [[Camilla Dallerup]] to avoid the dance-off. Despite this, viewers were encouraged to vote. All phone votes cast were carried on to the finale.<ref>((cite news|title=Semi-final statement |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedancing/news/semifinal_statement.shtml |publisher=BBC |date=13 December 2008 |access-date=13 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217040527/http://www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedancing/news/semifinal_statement.shtml |archive-date=17 December 2008 ))</ref><ref>((cite news |title=Votes rolled over after 'Strictly' tie |url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/strictlycomedancing/a138396/votes-rolled-over-after-strictly-tie.html |work=[[Digital Spy]] |date=13 December 2008 |access-date=13 December 2008 ))</ref> Since then, the system has been modified, so that instead of having a traditional tie structure for points, such as 3–3–1 (as was the case here), the 3–3–2 system is now used. This ensures that each couple can mathematically avoid the bottom two.((Citation needed|date=August 2023))((Clarify|reason=What does this mean?|date=August 2023))
