Strictly Come Dancing has revealed a first look at a special performance paying tribute to the women of the Second World War as part of this weekend's Remembrance Sunday commemorations.

Inspired by London's Monument to the Women of World War II, the performance will focus on the lives of women during the conflict and the important roles they played.

Meanwhile, Sunday's results show will feature a musical performance from Gregory Porter, accompanied by a routine from some of the Strictly professionals.
