Prepare for an extra sprinkle of Hollywood glamour on the dance floor this weekend, as Strictly Come Dancing's epic Movie Week is back.
The 14 remaining dance couples are set to take on an eclectic range of performances inspired by La La Land's biggest films. After finding themselves in the dance-off last week, broadcaster Nikita Kanda and Gorka Márquez will hope their Jive to Kids In America from the 1995 hit Clueless will be enough to save them from a similar fate this time round.
Meanwhile, presenter Angela Rippon and her dance partner Kai Widdrington will transform into the Von Trapps to dance the Quickstep to Do-Re-Mi from The Sound Of Music. Impressing the judges during Saturday 30 September's show, Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin will be hoping to top the leaderboard once again with their Viennese Waltz to There Are Worse Things I Could Do from Grease.
Also dancing the Viennese Waltz will be Coronation Street actress Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, who will perform to Waiting On A Miracle from Encanto, while Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer will dance the first Couple's Choice of the series to Men In Black from the film of the same name. Jody Cundy and Jowita Przystal will perform an American Smooth to the song Married Life from Up, and Zara McDermott and Graziano Di Prima will take on a Paso Doble to The Puss Suite from another animated kids' classic – Puss In Boots.
Meanwhile, Channel 4 News host Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Lauren Oakley will dance a Charleston to Money Money from Cabaret, while Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe are set to perform a Waltz to Moon River from Breakfast At Tiffany’s. Also performing the Charleston will be Angela Scanlon and Carlos Gu, who will take on Who’s Got The Pain? from Damn Yankees.

Karen Hauer, 41, and her Strictly Come Dancing partner Eddie Kadi were hoping to score another 10 from the judges with their American Smooth on Saturday night.
