Strictly Come Dancing has confirmed the full list of songs set to soundtrack the fitness-themed fifth week of the 2026 season. The BBC series will also feature a performance from Spice Girls icon Melanie C, performing her single 'Swear' onstage.

Sunday night's results show will also feature the UK TV debut performance of Hamie Miller's viral hit 'Babydoll' featuring Antonio Cipriano, with both musicians performing alongside four Strictly professionals.

The songs and dances set to be performed by this year's celebrities and their professional partners have been revealed across the week on spin-off series It Takes Two, and it's set to be a busy week indeed!
