The BBC has confirmed the full list of dances and songs for the first Strictly Come Dancing live show, which airs on Saturday at 6.15pm on BBC One and iPlayer. The launch show last week paired each of the 15 celebrities with a professional dancer.
Hosts and Opening Number
Emma Willis will return to the ballroom on Saturday alongside co-hosts Josh Widdecombe and Johannes Radebe. A peak of 5.8 million viewers watched the first episode of the series last weekend, with many curious to see how the new hosts compare to Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
The hosts, professionals and judges will open the show with a group number set to an orchestral version of Joy by Raye.
