Among the songs the contestants will be performing to include 90s favourites from Whitney Houston and Gloria Estefan, classics from Frank Sinatra and Burt Bacharach and more modern tracks from David Guetta and Jess Glynne. And after wowing Strictly fans with his impressive Latin moves, Kelvin and his professional partner Oti Mabuse will be trying their hands at ballroom, as they perform a Waltz.

Their scores from last Saturday will be carried over and combined with their marks from this week, as well as the result of the public vote, with two couples landing in the first dance off of the series.
As things currently stand, it’s not looking great for either James Cracknell or Chris Ramsey, who earned just 11 and 13 points respectively for their first dance. At the other end of the leaderboard, Kelvin’s Samba bagged him an impressive 32 points out of a possible 40, while Karim Zeroual’s first routine was awarded 31.
