Strictly Come Dancing has lost another star to injury in a brutal blow. The cast will be down one extra couple this weekend and that’s before we even get to the next elimination.
The remaining celebrities will be taking on ‘Icons’ week and the song list has been confirmed. It includes some true legends from the music world - see more here.
Another injury blow means that just 11 couples are left in the competition ahead of this weekend. Three dance offs have already taken place - remind yourself who has danced their last dance so far.
