Song and dances for the Blackpool bonanza revealed

[erinp5]

The annual Strictly visit to Blackpool is almost here and, in-between training, our remaining stars are packing their winter woolies and dancing shoes for a weekend by the seaside.

We all know the majestic Tower Ballroom is full of magic, and here's what our seven remaining couples will be dancing in the 'Home of Ballroom' this weekend:

Claudia and AJ will be dancing the Jive to ‘Hey Mickey’ by Toni Basil
Danny and Oti will be dancing the Charleston to ‘Puttin’ On The Ritz’ by Gregory Porter
Ed and Katya will be dancing the Jive to 'Great Balls of Fire’ by Jerry Lee Lewis
Greg and Natalie will be dancing the Quickstep to ‘Hand Jive’ by Sha Na Na
Judge Rinder and Oksana will be dancing the Salsa to ‘Spice Up Your Life’ by Spice Girls
Louise and Kevin will be dancing the Paso Doble to ‘Explosive’ by Bond
Ore and Joanne will be dancing the Viennese Waltz to ‘That’s Life’ by Frank Sinatra
It looks like you're in for a night full of more sparkly action than you can shake a stick of Blackpool rock at. We'd love to know who you can't wait to see take to that famously sprung dancefloor. Share your thoughts in the comments below. See you at 6.55pm on Saturday 19th November.

Don't forget, you can keep up to date with all things Strictly by watching It Takes Two with Zoe Ball every weeknight on BBC Two.

Urgh, they're always treated like they're in nappies. Fed up of the childish songs for them :nono:

No chance a female will leave this week.... none.

don't say that too loud, if the producers dress up Claudia in a nappy or some other childish outfit, it might put off the viewers from voting for her :)

If you're not watching, can you take your pettiness elsewhere, Claudia is obviously good, considering she's constantly near the top of the leaderboard.

yeah sorry for those harsh comments, i know Daisy is friends with Claudia, and i really regret having said these comments about Claudia, but i would wish the producers would stop treating Claudia like a baby, she's 19 not 4 years old


but Claudia and Daisy are similar in a few things, both really smiley happy girls, i hope they can stay friends, maybe even Daisy rooting for her at gymnastics competitions, if Daisy's schedule allows so, and maybe Claudia could become a model, she's definitely got the looks to become a really hot fashion model :)


so Lucas, forgive me, Claudia is a excellent dancer :)

Another week dominated by Rinder then :clap1:

Hope he is safe but i have a bad feeling about this weekend .

[Shaun]

Going by the song choices and dances I'd imagine the bottom two should be a straightforward Greg vs. Ore bottom two :think:

[Nicky91]

Ore vs Danny bottom 2 :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Ore vs Danny bottom 2 :laugh:

Danny has the charleston to a brilliant song. Top of the leader board of second at least. He will smash it!

[joeysteele]

Crumbs, not sure I like any of those songs this week.

It is the dancing that counts however, could be an interesting vote this week.

[Vanessa]

Danny's training looking fantastic already :clap1:

[Saturn]

I think , looking at that list of songs Ore is the one who will be voted out?

[GoldHeart]

Claudia and AJ will be dancing the Jive to ‘Hey Mickey’ by Toni Basil

nice song to be going out at :laugh:

Don't be bitter Nicky , you know she can dance :joker:

[Nicky91]

okay Claudia Fragapane does get my support with the gymnastics though, i really find her so hot, and doesn't matter if she's small to me, i want her to become a model :)

I can feel Bipolar in the air today :whistle:

[joeysteele]

I do not get the Judges admiration for Ore, sorry.
I found his routine really nothing special at all last week.

Danny does always deliver but for me the best pairing and the best routines come from Claudia and A J.

They should win this series for me.
