Strictly Come Dancing has revealed the songs the celebrity contestants will be dancing to for the special centenary episode this weekend.

On Saturday (22nd October), the dance show will be celebrating 100 years of the BBC with routines inspired by some iconic BBC programming. The remaining couples will be performing to the theme songs and TV tracks of some of the most memorable shows to air on the channel.

Here is a full list of the songs and routines for week 4:

Ellie and Nikita: Paso Doble to Montagues and Capulets (The Apprentice)

Ellie and Johannes: Tango to Casualty Theme Tune

Fleur and Vito: Jive to Waterloo by ABBA (Eurovision)

Helen and Gorka: Charleston to Blue Peter Theme Tune

Jayde and Karen: Charleston to The Ballad of Barry and Freda (Let’s Do It) by Victoria Wood (BBC Comedy)

Kym and Graziano: Quickstep to Ballroom Blitz by Sweet (Come Dancing)

Molly and Carlos: Couples’ Choice to Grange Hill Theme Tune

Hamza and Jowita: Quickstep to On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons (BBC Nature Programming)

James and Amy: Foxtrot to EastEnders Theme Tune

Tony and Katya: Cha Cha Cha to Grandstand Theme Tune (BBC Sport)

Tyler and Dianne: Tango to Doctor Who Theme Tune

Will and Nancy: Viennese Waltz to Line of Duty End Titles

On Sunday (16th October) we said goodbye to another contestant. This week, it was Bros singer Matt Goss and Kym Marsh in the dreaded dance-off and unfortunately, Matt failed to impress the judges with his Jive to All Shook Up by Paul McCartney and was sent home.

The singer spoke exclusively to virginradio.co.uk to share the memories he will be taking with him from the experience.

He said: “I think for me, there's a certain tenacity and fortitude, coming back home after 25 years, coming straight into this experience. There's been a couple of moments where I just wanted to pack it in. But in honour of my mother, my sister, my family, a brother, Luke, my career….Strictly is a beautiful TV show, it's a beloved TV show in Britain. And I'm honoured to be on it.”

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday on BBC One at 6:40pm.
