BBC Strictly week two song and dance choices revealed

Strictly Come Dancing bosses have confirmed which dances and songs the couples will be performing during week two. The show returned to BBC screens last week and saw the celebrities and professionals dance for the first time together.

No eliminations were made on the first weekend, meaning the 15 couples have all been working behind the scenes to make sure they impress judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke. Despite having no eliminations, the judges did give their first scores of the 2022 competition after the maiden dances of the series.

Following the first dances, the joint-best scores went to Hamza and Jowita Przystal and Will Mellor and Nancy Xu, who were both given 34 points, with the couples performing a Foxtrot and Jive respectively. At the other end of the table, former Arsenal captain Tony Adams and his dance partner Katya Jones were only given 15 points for their Tango.

Now, Strictly bosses have confirmed she will be dancing along to an Adele song, with her and Karen doing a Tango to Rumour Has It. The show's official Twitter account posted a video revealing what each couple will be doing during week two.
