Strictly Come Dancing has released the full line-up of songs and dances that the 2021 couples will be hoping to get through to the quarter-finals with.

This Saturday will see week 10 of live shows for the BBC One contest, with five places up for grabs in next week's quarter-final - meaning every couple will be training harder than ever before.

Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu survived last week's dance off against Tom Fletcher and Amy Dowden, and this weekend will be performing a Waltz to Whitney Houston's You Light Up My Life.

Meanwhile, leaderboard toppers Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin will be hoping to repeat their full points success of last week with a Samba to Levitating by Dua Lipa.

Viewer favourites AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington are set to take on the Couple's Choice to Make Me Feel by Janelle Monáe.

Popular couple John Whaite and Johannes Radebe are back to their dramatic best with an intense Argentine Tango to The 5th by David Garrett.

Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, currently the bookies' favourites to win the series, also have a drama-filled show before them with a Paso Doble to California Dreamin' by Sia.

Finally, Dan Walker and Nadiya Bychkova, always popular in the public vote, will face the notoriously tough Rumba to Desperado by Eagles.

The successful couples will be one step closer to the series final and the chance to lift the Glitterball Trophy.

Last weekend saw Fletcher and Dowden crash out of the competition in musicals week, the themed episode that the McFly star had said he most wanted to take part in.

Judge Craig Revel Horwood, who missed last week's show as he has been isolating after a positive COVID test, is expected to return this weekend.
