Strictly Come Dancing pays tribute to Tina Turner
Strictly Come Dancing is back today and 14 couples will be taking to the dancefloor to be scored on their progress.
Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke will award each couple marks out of 10, and by the end of the night, the contestants will be ranked from highest to lowest.
Last week, Les Dennis ended up towards the bottom of the leaderboard and ended up being eliminated from the BBC competition.
Now that the first exit has taken place, all the couples will be giving their all to fight for their place in the show.
