Strictly semi-final songs and dances revealed as couples get ready to do two routines

This series of Strictly Come Dancing has come by faster than the quickest of quicksteps and this weekend it's semi-final time. Previously non-dancing South Shields comedian Chris Ramsey has surprised everyone, including himself, by still being in the competition.

It barely seems like a week has passed since this year's Strictly stars were introduced to their professional partners but now just four couples remain.

After a tense quarter final, which had added drama thanks to and Shirley being forced to use her casting vote , Alex & Neil danced their last dance in the BBC ballroom.

Just Chris & Karen, Kelvin & Oti, Karim & Amy and Emma & Anton remain in the contest and the battle for the Glitterball is on!

To impress the judges this weekend, each of the pairs will need to master two routines and we now know the songs they'll be doing them to - with a preview available in the above video from BBC Strictly.
