Strictly Come Dancing week one: song and dance list revealed
From Abba to Wham! - here's what the Strictly celebs will be performing to during the first live show of the season
After weeks of rehearsals, our 15 brand new (and probably rather nervous) celebs are ready to take to the floor for their first live performance.
There will be no more bravado or fighting talk. Once Alan Dedicoat calls them onto the dance floor this weekend, it's all about the moves – good or bad.
Six celebrities will be performing on Friday night's live show, with the remaining nine strutting their stuff during Saturday's instalment.
Remember, no one will be leaving the competition this week, but the judges' scores will be carried forward into next week, when things get serious and the public can start voting for their favourites...
So what will they be performing?
