Strictly Come Dancing week five songs and dances including a Couple’s Choice

This weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing will see the remaining celebrities take on dances including a rumba to an Oasis track and a quickstep to Mr Blue Sky, while one pair will perform a Couple’s Choice routine. 

We’re now in week five of the live shows and there are 12 couples left in the competition following Nick Knowles’ and Luba Mushtuk’s exit on Sunday night. They were the third pair to be eliminated from this year’s competition. 

This Saturday’s show does not have a theme so viewers have an eclectic mix of music choices to look forward to, including everything from a Billy Joel track to a Liverpudlian classic for Chris McCausland. The next themed week will be for Halloween
