Strictly Come Dancing 2022: songs and routines for week 8 - including Despacito and Whitney Houston

Here’s a full breakdown of songs and routines the ten remaining Strictly Come Dancing couples will perform in week seven of the competition.

Strictly Come Dancing 2022 is in full swing, once again bringing the glitz and glamour to our Saturday nights as we go into the seventh week of the competition. Last week saw the contestants bring some stunning performances to the ballroom.

Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal found themselves at the top of the leaderboard again after wowing judges with their Cha Cha Cha who said it was the ‘best they’d seen yet’ on the show. Kym Marsh and Graziano Di Prima came in at a close second with their Assassin’s Tango by John Powell.

Unfortunately, it was the end of the road for Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin. Ellie and Nikita faced off against Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu in the dance off, who the judges unanimously decided to save. Simmonds said she ‘loved every minute’ of the competition before doing one final Charleston and leaving the dancefloor for the series.

This week the 9 remaining couples will return to the ballroom with some spectacular performances expected from the Cha Cha Cha to a Rumba. What will be the breakout routine for this week’s Strictly Come Dancing 2022 live show?
