Strictly Come Dancing confirms full list of week 8 songs and dances - with surprise Alan Cumming cameo

The full list of the songs and dance styles we'll see on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend has been revealed. It's the eighth week of the competition, and there's a spot in next week's Blackpool special at stake for all of the remaining couples.

Plus, it's been confirmed that a special fantasy-themed dance from the professionals - which will air during Sunday's results show - will have a special voiceover cameo from Alan Cumming.

Returning to the competition with a Charleston will be Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu, dancing to 'I Can't Do It Alone' by Catherine Zeta-Jones, as heard in Chicago. Delta Goodrem, joined for one week only by Aljaž Škorjanec due to Kai Widdrington's illness, will dance an Argentine Tango to 'Missing' by Everything But The Girl.

Tabby Stoecker and Mark Karmalita will dance a Viennese Waltz to 'I'm With You' by Avril Lavigne, and last week's dance-off survivors Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby will perform a Charleston to 'Blame It on the Boogie' by The Jacksons.

Graeme Hall and Lauren Oakley will give their best Quickstep to 'Happy Days' by Pratt & McClain, and John Nellis and Katya Jones are slated to perform a Jive to 'Pump It' by Black Eyed Peas.

What's more, Sunday's results show will also feature a musical performance by The Celebrity Traitors winner Bash Croft.

Announcing Kai's absence earlier today, a statement from the BBC read: "Due to illness, Kai is unable to dance on tomorrow night's show. Instead, Aljaz will step in to dance the Argentine Tango with Delta. We're sending Kai all our love and hope he feels better very soon."

Aljaz previously competed on this year's run with Gavin and Stacey favourite Melanie Walters, but they were the second pair to be eliminated.

Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturday and Sunday nights on BBC One and streams on iPlayer.
