Series 3

The third series of Strictly Come Dancing ran in Spring 2011, started on April 16, 2011 and ended on June 26, 2011 after 12 weeks. Katy Perry and James Jordan won the trophy, so they defeated Joan Fontaine and Pasha Kovalev for second place and Sabrina Bryan and Vincent Simone for third place. Bruce Forsyth and Claudia Winkleman returned, and also Tess Daly. This will have four judges again, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Horwood and Darcey Bussell.

Couples
This is a no 110+ season. 16-109 is the age limit. Along with series 1, this is another season that will not feature supercentenarians, over 110 year old people. This will feature 14 couples and 12 weeks.

This season will not have Oscar Niemeyer, Jiroemon Kimura, Clive Dunn, Besse Cooper, Dina Manfredini as contestants, because Bruce Forsyth said that these five are replaced by Sabrina Bryan, Jerry Lewis, Michael Jordan and Samantha Jade, or another contestant.

This season will have one American contestant who has competed before.
