There are already some strong contendors, but there are bound to be a few blunders in the ballroom this weekend.

 

We all know week one never goes as smoothly as the celebrities hope, so it’ll be quite the interesting show.

 

One couple we can’t wait to see perform is Katie Piper and Gorka Marquez who will be waltzing around the Strictly studio to When We Were Young by Adele.
