The first ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ live show of the 2023 season is taking place this weekend, and it’ll be your first chance to see how this year’s crop of celebs perform in the ballroom.

This weekend all of the couples will take to the dancefloor for the first time and the judges will no doubt waste no time telling them where they need to improve.
