Synopsis
Eight brave celebrities took their first turn on the Strictly dance floor, performing a ballroom dance. In this live show the bar is raised, as they must deliver their Latin. Will they cope or crumble as they perform either a cha cha cha or a rumba? Nobody wants to be the first to leave the competition, so all the couples will be out to impress.
The two couples with the lowest combined judges' scores and viewer votes will face the Dance Off; their fate then lies in the hands of the judges, who decide who lives to dance another day and who will leave the competition for good.
Also, find out what happened after the previous show, and if the celebrities think they have done enough to make it through.
Plus 2009's new professional dancers get the chance to show off their skills, and there is a very special showdance.
