Karim Zeroual will be hoping to wow the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judges with a ‘Hairspray’ themed jive on Saturday (30.11.19).
The CBBC presenter is set to take to the dance floor alongside his professional partner Amy Dowden on the BBC Latin and ballroom dance competition this weekend, where he will dance the jive to ‘You Can’t Stop The Beat’ from the iconic musical ‘Hairspray’.
‘Strictly Come Dancing’ will celebrate a special musicals week this week, with each of the remaining five couples hoping to dance their way through to next week with their all-singing, all-dancing routines.
Alex Scott and her partner Neil Jones will be dancing the samba to ‘Joyful Joyful’ from ‘Sister Act’, whilst Emma Barton and Anton Du Beke will do the Charleston to ‘Thoroughly Modern Mille’ from the musical of the same name.
Chris Ramsey and Karen Hauer are set to perform a foxtrot to ‘Consider Yourself’ from ‘Oliver’, and Kelvin Fletcher will take to the dance floor with his partner Oti Mabuse, where they will dance an American smooth to ‘Gaston’ from ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
The final is just weeks away, and the competition is set to heat up, as each couple fights to win over the judging panel – made up of Shirley Ballas, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood, and Motsi Mabuse – and the voting public.
The results of this week will be broadcast on Sunday (01.12.19), where viewers will also be treated to a performance from British soul icon Beverley Knight – who will be opening the show – as well as a guest performance from ‘Frozen 2’ star Idina Menzel.
One couple will be sent home this week, leaving the remaining four to head to next week’s semi-final.
