Well, it's probably time to get this show on the road.
You know the drill by now - six celebrities dance Friday, nine celebrities dance Saturday, no elimination this week but all scores will be carried over and combined with week 2's. This year, though, it's not just waltz and cha-cha in week 1, for some reason.
Dancers, dances and songs follow:
Dancing on Friday
Dancing on Saturday
And that's everything!

Looks as if I'll be doing that most weeks seeing as I have a weekend evening job
Enjoy the show, guys!
It's only one more couple than the last three years, which also used an identical Friday/Saturday split, and it wasn't an issue then...
Maybe not for you, but it is for me. I find two dances among that many couples is repetitive and prefer to see more of a mix. I also think it is good to have different levels of dance difficulty to reflect the contestants varying levels of ability. If someone can do a good jive after 3 weeks training, better to see that than have them show up a complete new-to-dancing celeb's competent CCC.

Of course, all that depends on either of the couples doing it actually being able to do a jive. I guess I'm not really against opening things up from week 1 for variety's sake, but jive and tango are really odd, if not cruel, options.
I can't see where it says there that he's first (although it would make sense - fast latin, most recognisable song, and he's not likely to be very good so no fear of having to score too high, too soon).
Both shows this weekend are live (or there's going to be some very disappointed ticket-holders!)
I can't see it either. I also hope from his first reply that he's just left his fiancée at home, rather than having left her for good. :D
Is this the sequence they are going to dance in?
Thanks. I know it is live tonight, but just wondered if it maybe just filmed earlier to fit in with just 1 hr slot. Or maybe if they may run over , once Brucie starts . As this is first show
Thanks.:)
'The Hollyoaks star will open the first live show tonight'
...It doesn't say that in the article.
I assumed that as it's the article's sub-heading, it would be in the article.
Does it really matter whether it was in the article or not over the information it holds?
edit. Bugger it's Friday! And Huw doesn't do Fridays!!!

Don't speak too soon. Sir Bruce might surprise you... *shudders*
It would not surprise me if they have put it on later because of the tattoos and skimpiness of the costumes.
It would not surprise me if they put it on later because it's worked well in the 9pm Friday slot for the past four years, either. And I didn't see many tattoos on Lynda Bellingham.
I sincerely hope this is a joke.
Way too excited for tonight! Have chocolate cake in preparation for it
