BBC Strictly Come Dancing makes change for next live show

Hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing will return with a difference on Saturday night (September 9).

The loved show returns to the ballroom on BBC One with a twist: Movie Week.

It comes after Nina Wadia was the first contestant eliminated in the 2021 series last weekend after a dance off with Katie McGlynn.

Greg Wise told Rylan Clark-Neal on Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two: "When I was 28 and I was doing a film where I had a big moustache, I met the producers for Bond," BirminghamLive reports.

"And about two weeks later, these are the days of faxes, I got a fax from a journalist at the Sunday Times saying 'Mr wise, I understand you're training with the special forces for your upcoming role as James Bond'."

He added: "For one night only, which is the best way to be Bond I think."

He continued: "I think months ago I suggested to the producers 'If I'm allowed, can I do a paso doble to the Bond theme?' and they said yeah."

AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington, will dance the American smooth to I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston from The Bodyguard, and John Whaite and Johannes Radebe will take to the floor for a paso doble to He's A Pirate from Pirates Of The Caribbean.

McGlynn will perform an American Smooth to the track Cruella De Vil from the classic Disney film with Gorka Marquez on Saturday.
