Each week, the dancers try to impress the judges, and viewers at home, with their fancy footwork in the hope of avoiding the dance-off where the two couples with the lowest scores must dance again to convince the judges they deserve to go through to next week.

So, what is the theme for this week’s show? Here’s everything you need to know about this week’s ballroom competition.
