by · Manchester Evening News

Another week in the training room has led all of Strictly Come Dancing's couples to week two of the competition following a spectacular opening live show last weekend.

The 2024 run of the hit dance show officially got underway last weekend when all 15 of the new Strictly couples performed live in the iconic ballroom for the first time.

Their performances in the first week of Strictly's 20th anniversary series were just for the judges' comments and scores as it's not until this Saturday (September 28) that viewers get to cast their votes.

The voting lines opening, however, means that the first dance-off and elimination of the 22nd series will take place during the results show on Sunday night (September 29) after all the couples perform once more.

The next live show airs on Saturday, September 28 at 6.15pm on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer. The results show will then air on Sunday, September 29 at 7.15pm.

It's been revealed that the judges and professional dancers will perform an "avant-garde gothic tango" on the first results show. They will perform to Prince’s When Doves Cry and New Order’s Blue Monday, before the first person to be eliminated from the dancing show is revealed.

The show’s longest-serving judge, Craig Revel Horwood, will wear a blonde wig and sit on a golden throne while fellow judge Anton Du Beke will wear a purple jacket with a gold waistcoat and white shirt.

Head judge Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse will dance in all black outfits while the professional dancers will wear white and black outfits as they surround the throne, for which the judges will battle.
