Can you believe that Strictly Come Dancing 2018 kicks off properly this weekend? We can’t either.
The official countdown to Christmas starts on Saturday night when all of the couples take to the floor for the very first time. It will be the first chance viewers get to see who can dance and who can’t.
We already know that some of the stars can dance but none of them have had ballroom experience before so it’ll be a challenge for them all. The first week will see dance styles including Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Jive, Waltz, Quickstep, Tango and Jive.
Find out what your favourite couple will be dancing to below:
- Ashley & Pasha – Viennese Waltz to Perfect by Ed Sheeran featuring Beyoncé
- Charles & Karen – Cha Cha Cha to Ain’t No Love (Ain’t Not Use) by Sub Sub featuring Melanie Williams
