As the couples return to the Elstree Studios ballroom, they face the first ever Instant Dance challenge. Tonight’s routines will be soundtracked by Lady Gaga, Frank Sinatra and Tina Turner. But who will be simply the best?
After their regular routines, tonight sees Strictly’s first ever Instant Dance challenge. In this time-pressured plot twist, each couple will pick a dance style at random from ones they have learnt in the competition so far.
They will then be played their accompanying music and – after a frantic dash through wardrobe to select and change into their costumes – they will have just 10 seconds on the countdown clock to decide exactly how they’re going to dance it. Will they try to remember the original choreography or will they improvise? The judges will mark them from one to six points, which could shake up the leaderboard and change the standings. It could also be total chaos and I’m here for it.
