Strictly Come Dancing quite possibly has its most eclectic song-and-dance line-up in recent memory for you this weekend.

Not only will you get to see Reverend Richard Coles (aka the new Ed Balls) groove to an '80s classic, Strictly has also lined up routines set to Justin Bieber, Billy Joel and even Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Check out the full list of dances for Saturday's episode below:

Keep in mind that we'll be getting our first elimination this weekend, so all 15 celebrities will have to pull out all the stops to impress judges Shirley Ballas, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell.

Perhaps nobody is facing more pressure than Ruth Langsford, who finished in last place in the official kick-off over the weekend.

"I can honestly say I have never been so nervous ever – not when I got married, not doing live television," she admitted on Loose Women.

"Everything the judges said to me was absolutely right. Bruno said, 'You were clinging onto Anton', which I was because the minute I went wrong I went a bit dance-blind."

We'd suggest some live rehearsals on Loose Women this week...

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday (September 30) at 6.45pm for two-plus hours of cha chas and waltzes, before someone leaves the dancefloor in Sunday's (October 1) results show at 7.15pm on BBC One.
