Strictly Come Dancing returns to screens tonight.
The BBC One favourite is back for its third week of live performances, with celebrities taking to the dancefloor in the hope of avoiding elimination following last week’s exit of the first couple.
Chris Appleton and professional partner Amy Dowden became the first pair to leave the competition after a dance-off against Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu.
This weekend marks the first standard show of the series, with no overarching theme following last week’s Movie Week special.
What time is Strictly Come Dancing on tonight?
The latest episode of Strictly will air live on BBC One tonight (October 10) from 6.15pm until 8.35pm.
Couples will perform a variety of routines, including the Waltz, Tango, Salsa, and Charleston.
The results show will follow tomorrow (October 11) at 7.10pm, where the two lowest-scoring couples will compete in the second dance-off of the series.
The show will also feature a performance from the professional dancers.
Last Sunday’s results show included a The Devil Wears Prada-themed routine from the Strictly Professionals, as well as a performance from Matilda The Musical.
Who has left Strictly so far?
Only one contestant has been eliminated so far, with celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton going out last weekend.
Mr Appleton, 43, was paired with professional dancer Amy Dowden, 36.
The pair exited the competition after a Movie Week dance-off against actress Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu.
Both couples reprised their routines, with Mr Appleton and Ms Dowden performing a cha-cha to I’ll Be Ready from Baywatch.

Craig Revel Horwood, who was the judge with the deciding vote this week, said that he would have also saved the same couple as the rest of the judges if he had needed to vote.
Ms Dowden was also the first professional to be eliminated last year, when she was paired with The Apprentice contestant Thomas Skinner.
