Yahoo News Strictly's Jamie Borthwick teases Michelle's surprise for Anton
Strictly Come Dancing couple Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas have a special treat in store for judge Anton Du Beke.
Appearing on tonight's (November 14) It Takes Two, the EastEnders star hinted at a surprise for Anton in his next dance with Michelle.
The duo will be performing a Jive to 'The Ketchup Song (Aserejé)' by Las Ketchup in Blackpool and shared their hopes to wow the judging panel with a callback to an earlier dance.

It Takes Two host Janette Manrara quizzed Jamie and Michelle about Anton's comments on their last routine, an Argentine tango to Arctic Monkeys' 'Do I Wanna Know?', which saw the couple racking up a modest 30.
During the results show, Jamie and Michelle were joint bottom of the leaderboard with Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu, but were ultimately saved by the public vote.
Anton described the Jay Brown actor as "a [dance] talent", reminding the pair of a Paso Doble they danced in Week 5 that stuck with him and that he hoped could set the benchmark for their future numbers.
In a bid to impress him once again, Jamie revealed that Michelle has included a Paso Doble nod in their upcoming Jive.

"She has left a little something in our Jive this week for Anton," he teased.
"It's a little surprise," Michelle confirmed, with Jamie doubling down and calling the Easter egg "a little nudge" to their Paso Doble to 'Malagueña' by Ernesto Lecuona which earned them three 10's.
Strictly fans should expect a fairly comical routine for the couple's next Jive, explained Michelle, as she and Jamie are ready to rock red outfits and perform with dancers dressed as sauces to match the theme of their song.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
