    I love it that these kind of games are back, because they were lacking in the last couple of months. :(

    Blue singer Simon Webbe is thought to have signed up for Digital Spy's Virtual Dance-a-Thon, reports speculate.

    It is thought that Webbe, 32, had such a fun experience in the Strictly Christmas Special that he wants to dedicate his time to dancing.

    Great line-up! A good way for John Torode to learn dancing skills before his appearance on Spice Up Your Life! :)

    Is a Dance-A-Thon like a Swing-A-Thon?

    Each episode, the couples will dance as usual to a panel of judges. However, at the end of the night, it's up to YOU.

    Our couples will take part in a Virtual Dance-a-Thon, where they'll all have to do a new style of dance. But it's just like the Swing-a-Thon. I'll put a list up of the couples, and one-by-one you can eliminate them on how bad you think they'd do at the dance style. You can't vote twice in a row, though.

    So here's an idea with random names:

    Jill & John
    Sally & Mark
    Donna & James
    Edwin & Kelly

    Forum Member: I eliminate Sally & Mark
    Forum Member #2: I eliminate Edwin & Kelly

    And so on. These points get added to their first scores, and results happen as of then. It's Strictly with a marathon every night!
