Sorry this is a touch late but I wasn’t expecting these to be announced until next week. But in a bit of a surprise the BBC yesterday revealed the songs and dances that all 15 couples will be performing in the mammoth Saturday show during week one. So who is dancing to what? And just how hard has the BBC pun machine been working? Well I can reveal…..
