Viewers will also see two Quicksteps, as Kym Marsh and Graziano Di Prima take inspiration from the contest's roots with Come Dancing by performing to 'Ballroom Blitz' by Sweet, and Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal dance to 'On Top of the World' by Imagine Dragons, celebrating BBC nature programming.
