Strictly Blackpool Week: Songs and Dances revealed

Strictly annual seaside outing is nearly upon us, and with the very sad departure of Jeremy Vine and Karen Clifton last week, there are just eight couples heading to the ‘Home of Ballroom’.

And we can now reveal the songs our couples will be dancing to in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom and the style of dance they’ll be performing;

Anita and Gleb will perform the Paso Doble to the dramatic ‘Malaguena’ by Connie Francis.

Georgia and Giovanni dance the American Smooth to the Whitney Houston power-ballad ‘I Have Nothing’.

Helen and Aljaž are going to Charleston to ‘Anything Goes’ from the musical of the same name.

Jamelia and Tristan Quickstep to 1960’s classic ‘I’m A Believer’ by The Monkees.

Jay and Aliona will Salsa to the disco-flavoured ‘Cuba’ by The Gibson Brothers.

Katie and Anton perform the American Smooth to Dean Martin’s ‘Ain’t That A Kick In The Head.

Kellie and Kevin will be Quickstepping to Dolly Parton’s ‘Nine To Five’.

Peter and Janette are Jiving to Tina Turner’s ‘River Deep, Mountain High’.

Check out our Strictly playlist to listen to the songs from the show and don’t forget to tune in to BBC One on Saturday at 18:50 and on Sunday at 19:15 for all the magic from the Blackpool Tower!
