Strictly Come Dancing is headed to the iconic Tower Ballroom in Blackpool this weekend, so expect everything, bigger, bolder and covered in more sequins. The BBC has now revealed the full list of songs and dances that everyone will be performing.

First up is Alex Kingston who will be dancing her Couples Choice routine. She'll be doing it to a mash up of 'History Repeating' by Propellerheads ft Shirley Bassey and 'Look at Me' and Geri Halliwell.

EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal finally gets to perform the dance she's been wanting to do since joining the show, the Argentine Tango. She'll be dancing it to 'The Logical Song' by Supertramp.

Lewis Cope will be performing to a version of the Arctic Monkeys song 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' as he dances a Charleston.

Former footballer Karen Carney will be getting dramatic with a Paso Doble to 'O Fortuna' by Carmina Burana, while George Clarke is Salsa-ing to 'Rock This Party' by Bob Sinclair.

Finally, Amber Davies is doing the Quickstep to 'Reach' by S Club 7.

One star who sadly won’t be taking to the dancefloor in Blackpool is La Voix. The RuPaul’s Drag Race star sadly sustained an injury this week, and has been ruled out of the show.

"Due to an injury, I’ve been advised that I’m unable to perform, and my heart truly breaks knowing I won’t be dancing in such an iconic venue."

"Aljaž and I have worked incredibly hard, and we were so excited to share our routine with everyone," La Voix continued. "I am devastated not to be joining the rest of the cast on that famous dancefloor, but my focus now is on recovery. I’ll be cheering on all the amazing couples this weekend."

Due to La Voix's temporary exit, and Stefan Dennis withdrawing earlier in the series, many fans have been begging producers to make this week a non-elimination.

"Please don't eliminate anyone in Blackpool and instead make it a celebration of the series," one fan wrote on X/Twitter. "Would be lovely if no one goes home this week," another added.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
