Olympic swimmer Tom Dean danced with Nadiya Bychkova to Harry Styles ' track Golden performing a saucy tango.
Tom confessed about his partner: "I've spent too long in the pool and not enough time on land! I couldn't be taught by anyone better a world champion. With the ballroom stuff, because we're both quite tall, we can make it look quite flowy and float across the floor, which should be quite good."
Nick Knowles and Luba Mushtuk - 18
DIY SOS expert Nick Knowles performed a Jive with his partner Luba to Starship's song We Built This City.
Viewers will be able to partake when the lines open in week two next Saturday (September 28) and the first elimination of the series will air the night after (Sunday, September 29). All the action tonight will kick off at 7pm on BBC One, but there will be no results show this weekend.
