Jayde Adams' next Strictly dance pays homage to BBC and Victoria Wood

Bristolian comedian Jayde Adams will dance the Charleston on this weekend's round of Strictly Come Dancing as the show marks the BBC's centenary. The Bedminster native, who is partnered with professional dancer Karen Hauer, will perform to The Ballad of Barry and Freda (Let's Do It) by Victoria Wood.

The upcoming episode will see the couples dance to iconic theme songs and TV tracks to celebrate 100 years of the BBC. From Doctor Who and Casualty to Eurovision and Line of Duty, there will be a range of music on show.

Jayde and Karen's choice of song was one performed by Wood, who died in 2016. The popular comic wrote and starred in a number of hit BBC shows including Victoria Wood: As Seen on TV and Dinnerladies.
