Hello and Welcome to the first round of Dancefloor

13 Contestants are waiting to tackle either a waltz or cha cha today, with the dance they don't perform today being danced on Sunday. The scores from today will be added to the scores from Sunday to discover the overall ranking of each couple and then the lines will open for voting

They all have one thing in common - to succeed Jess and Pasha as champions.

Let's get the competition underway and opening with a Cha Cha to Lady Marmalade to Lady Marmalade by Labelle please welcome to the floor Jack and Nicole Cutler

    That gives Jack and Nicole a total of 20/40
