Strictly Come Dancing celebrities will tonight compete in a dance-a-thon with pairs performing a samba routine simultaneously as the ballroom competition hots up.

Seven couples remain in the BBC dance contest after Wynne and Katya were eliminated at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Sunday, despite Pete and Jowita finishing rock bottom on the judges’ scorecards.

Tonight sees the return of the dance-a-thon, which last featured in 2018, as Montell, Sarah, Tasha, Chris, Jamie, JB and Pete pit themselves against one another to help their chances of surviving into next week.

Will we see magnificent performances tonight? And will we be in heaven for at least 80 minutes on BBC One this evening?

Seven couples will feature on the ballroom tonight after Wynne and Katya became the eighth pair to be eliminated in Blackpool on Sunday.

Some may still be scratching their heads that Pete Wicks will dance tonight…possibly no one more than him as he and Jowita skated through despite a rock bottom finish on the leaderboard.

Tonight will see the return of the dance-a-thon with celebrities all performing at the same time to add extra spice to proceedings.

The theme later is samba so will prove to have the extra spring in their step or who will look out of rhythmn?

Join us throughout the evening as we bring you all the latest updates from the ballroom plus reaction from the viewers at home sprinkled with the most eye-catching pictures and videos.

The show starts at 7:05pm on BBC One.
