Strictly Come Dancing has just eight couples left fighting it out for the Glitterball Trophy, and now the latest song and dance choices have been revealed to get us fired up.
Last weekend’s show treated us to some breath-taking routines, with AJ Odudu narrowly missing out on the second perfect score of the series.
This Saturday night, the stars will get another chance to impress to the panel and the millions tuning in to see the results of their intense training schedules.
This weekend, the couples are not only dancing for the judges’ scores and the votes at home but also for a coveted place in next week’s Musicals Special.
Music-wise, there are some classics to be featured, with tracks from Donna Summer, Goo Good Dolls, and The Proclaimers.

There are some exciting dances to come too, with Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice allocated a Couple’s Choice, with Sara Davies and Aljaz Skorjanec trying their hand at an Argentine Tango.
See the full list of songs and routines below:

The competition is continuing to heat up after Adam Peaty and Katya Jones became the latest couple to bid farewell on Sunday night.
The pair found themselves in the dance-off up against Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzman, with the TV chef and presenter in the bottom two for the second time.
After his emotional exit following his Jive, Adam’s mum Caroline hit out at the result, labelling it a ‘total fix’ in a Twitter rant.
Crag Revel Horwood even admitted it wasn’t the outcome he was hoping for and Shirley Ballas confirming she would have saved the athlete.
