Strictly Come Dancing has confirmed that four legendary finalists will return for Blackpool week. The show will air the special occasion next weekend, which will include a "spectacular group dance".
Alongside the pros, the ensemble will include 2015 winner Jay McGuiness, 2016 finalist Danny Mac, 2018 finalist Ashley Roberts, and 2023 finalist Layton Williams, with the routine containing nods to some of their famous dances.
Jay and Ashley's respective Jives, Danny's Samba and Layton's Quickstep will be featured, in the performance, which is set to air on the Sunday results show.
Additionally, the weekend of 22 and 23 November will be opened up by Steps, who will perform some of their biggest hits alongside the pros, celebrities and judges, while Lewis Capaldi will perform the day after.
"I’m so excited and grateful to be back on the shiny floor in Blackpool again," Ashley said. "Nearly a decade later, let’s see if these jive legs can still do their thing! Sequins always help, I’m sure."

Danny called his Blackpool Week experience an "absolute highlight" of his time on the show, saying that returning is as "thrilling as it is terrifying", while Jay admitted he was "ready to have some fun with the old gang and the new gang".

This weekend will reveal which celebrities are through to Blackpool Week, with one couple set to miss out during Sunday's elimination show.
Fans already reckon that La Voix will be among those to make it, with the reveal that she will dance to a Couples Choice to ‘Don’t Rain On My Parade’ by Barbra Streisand sparking excitement among viewers.
