Strictly Come Dancing week 10 saw the six remaining celebrities compete in “Musicals Week,” following last week’s Samba-thon, which resulted in Jamie Borthwick being eliminated.
“Musicals Week” saw the six couples perform a variety of routines to famous tunes from stage musicals, while the professional dancers opened the show with a number from Little Shop of Horrors.
The performances saw Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell dance a Quickstep to You’re The Top” from Anything Goes, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley dance a Viennese Waltz to “Let’s Go Fly A Kite” from Mary Poppins.

Elsewhere, actor Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola danced a Charleston to “Popular” from Wicked and Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec performed an Argentine Tango to “Ex-Wives” from SIX.
