Strictly Come Dancing marks Remembrance Sunday with WWII women tribute

Strictly Come Dancing will commemorate Remembrance Sunday with a special group performance from the show's professional dancers during the results show on Sunday, 8 November. Choreographed by Lizzie Gough, the routine will be set to Peter Gabriel's arrangement of 'Heroes' and will be inspired by London's Monument to the Women of World War II. The performance will open with British soldiers leaving for war before focusing on the lives and roles of women during the conflict, featuring period costumes and set design reflecting the 1940s era.

The special tribute will see professional dancer Amy Dowden return to the dancefloor alongside her fellow professionals for the moving performance. The results show will also feature a musical performance from Gregory Porter, accompanied by a routine from some of the Strictly professionals.

On Saturday's main show, the remaining couples will compete in Week 7, with performances including Dani Dyer and Nikita Kuzmin performing an American Smooth to 'It Had to Be You' by Harry Connick Jr., Delta Goodrem and Kai Widdrington dancing a Cha Cha to 'Let's Get Loud' by Jennifer Lopez, and Lacey Turner and Vito Coppola performing a Rumba to 'Yellow' by Coldplay. Other competitors include Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu (Foxtrot), Tabby Stoecker and Mark Karmalita (Paso Doble), Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby (Waltz), Graeme Hall and Lauren Oakley (Couple's Choice), John Nellis and Katya Jones (Salsa), and Will Best and Dianne Buswell (Quickstep). Actress Jaime Winstone will miss this weekend's performances due to injury but has received a bye through to Week 8.
