With 12 couples still in the competition, the songs and dances being performed in this week’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ live show have been revealed.

After getting the first ‘10’ of the series from three of the four judges, Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez will be following their stunning Jive with a Samba routine, set to the Ed Sheeran hit ‘Shape Of You’.

Meanwhile, Davood Ghadami will be hoping he can turn things around after coming dangerously close to leaving the show last week, when he and Nadiya Bychkova perform their first Jive to ‘Tell Her About It’ by Billy Joel.

Historically, the Jive is a good way to win plaudits from the ‘Strictly’ judges, and viewers, with reigning champion Joanne Clifton claiming in her Radio Times column this week: “I don’t know whether there’s something about the Jive but it seems to go down really, really well.

“There was Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani’s ‘Pulp Fiction’ performance in 2015, and it’s really strange because last year in week four, Ore and I did the Jive and we also scored three 10s and a 9!”

Here’s what the rest of the contestants will be performing…

  • Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez will dance the Samba to ‘Shape Of You’ by Ed Sheeran
  • Aston Merrygold and Janette Manrara will dance the Waltz to ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ by Elvis Presley
