Judi Love and Graziano Di Prima are back from the dance off with an elegant Waltz to Mariah Carey's Hero, while Sara Davies and Aljaz Skorjanec will be hoping to prove their Tango is up to scratch, too, dancing to Por Una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel.

Taking on the drama of the Argentine Tango are Adam Peaty and Katya Jones to Tango in the Night by Fleetwood Mac, and there's also an intense Paso Doble from Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin to Diablo Rojo by Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Week four is set to feature plenty of Latin numbers, including two Sambas - AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington to Don't Go Yet by Camila Cabello, and Greg Wise and Karen Hauer to Macarena by Los Del Rio.

Strictly will be missing two couples this weekend as Ugo Monye and Oti Mabuse have to take the week off to allow Monye to recover from a back injury, and Robert Webb and Dianne Buswell have quit the show due to health issues.

Webb underwent open heart surgery two years ago and his doctor has advised him not to continue with the competition as he began experiencing some worrying symptoms.
