Strictly Come Dancing celebrities have waltzed to the seaside to dance at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom, a traditional pitstop throughout the history of the series.
Eight couples headed to Lancashire this week as the show moves to the legendary venue for one-week only following Shayne Ward's exit last Sunday.
Two pairs, Tasha and Aljaž and JB and Lauren, topped the leaderboard last week with 37 points as Wynne and Katya survived the dance off.
