The 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing has been one of the highest-scoring series so far, and this weekend, the semi-finalists dance not once, but twice in a bid to make it through to next week’s Grand Final.
As they set their eyes on the coveted Glitterball prize, EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, TV presenter AJ Odudu, former Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite and TV star Rhys Stephenson are all gearing up for the Strictly semi-final - and their dances and songs for the upcoming show have finally been revealed.
It's set to be the most challenging week for the remaining couples as they master two brand new routines in a bid to wow the judges.
First up, AJ and Kai will dance the rumba to Show Me Heaven by Maria McKee.
And for their second dance, the pair will burst out the quickstep to Benny Goodman's classic tune, Sing, Sing, Sing.
Strictly favourites Rose and Giovanni are hoping to wow the judges once again with their Argentine Tango which they'll perform alongside Eduardo Rovira's A Evaristo Carriego.
The pair are also gearing up for their second dance as they are set to waltz to Ellie Goulding's How Long Will I Love You.
John and Johannes are keeping things upbeat for their first performance as they'll jive to to Coldplay's track, Higher Power.
After that, they are set to slow down the pace for their couple's choice dance to Adele's classic hit, Hometown Glory.
Elsewhere, Rhys and Nancy are practising their samba moves as they'll perform along to Michael Bublé's It Had To Be Tonight.
They will then perform the tango to One Vision by Queen.
The dance routine reveal comes after the celebs for the Strictly Come Dancing 2022 live tour have been announced.
It's good news for fans of the 2021 series as show favourites John Whaite and Johannes Radebe, and Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, will keep on dancing next year as they join the line-up for the Strictly Come Dancing live UK tour.
Other pairs from this year’s Strictly line-up announced for the tour include Sara Davies and Aljaz Skorjanec, Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin, AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington, and CBBC star Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu.
The Wanted singer Max George, who competed on Strictly in 2020, will also join the 2022 tour, paired with Katya Jones.
The couples will take to the road for more than 30 shows, with Strictly professionals Amy Dowden, Neil Jones, Luba Mushtuk and Jowita Przystal also involved.
Strictly Come Dancing semi-finals air on Saturday 11th December at 7:05pm.
