Join the Strictly Come Dancing 2021 judges front row for this week’s Musicals Special as we see the remaining couples take to the ballroom once again to dance to the most loved musicals of all time.
Last week saw entrepreneur and Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies eliminated from the competition after the judges were left with a difficult decision to save her or Tilly Ramsay.
Sara was crushed about her elimination and fans were left sobbing at her appearance on Strictly: It Takes Two as she broke down.
She revealed on the show that: “I spent yesterday being really gutted and wallowing and feeling sorry for myself and Aljaz kept trying to ring us and I was like no, I'm really not going to talk to you because that's going to make us cry even more."
She continued, "And even my five year old kept saying, 'Mummy why are you crying, grown-ups shouldn’t cry' So I had a word with myself this morning, and this lovely man [Aljaz] took me for lunch and I feel a lot better.”
In this week’s Musicals Special there will be an incredible Cabaret-inspired opening performance from the professional dancers. Afterwards, we’ll see the couples dance live to show tunes from some of the most iconic musicals.
Here are the announced songs and dances each couple will be dancing this week…
