BBC Strictly Come Dancing star says 'it's about time' as she names stars at risk this weekend

A former Strictly Come Dancing star has said 'it's about time' one of this year's stars faces the bottom two as she names who she thinks is at risk of an exit this weekend.

Week eight of the BBC One dance contest arrives in the ballroom on Saturday night (November 9) and follows the previous weekend's rollercoaster of an evening on the dance floor with the arrival of the first-ever 'Icons Week'.

And it'll be a big night for the remaining nine couples as not only will they be hoping to keep their place in the competition, they'll also be hoping they can do enough to see them through to the annual Blackpool special, which takes place next Saturday (November 16).

The next live show of Strictly's 20th anniversary series will see Wynne Evans and Katya Jones will dance to MIKA’s Grace Kelly whilst Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola will perform to Proud by Heather Small, a nod to her character from the popular BBC sitcom, Miranda.

JB Gill will be back alongside Lauren Oakley following Amy Dowden's sad exit from the competition and they'll be performing a Samba to Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes while Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal will aim to bounce back with a couple's choice routine to The Best by Nicotine Dolls.

Another couple's choice will be performed by Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell to John Lennon’s Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) while Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe, who survived Sunday’s (November 3) dance-off, will return with a Paso Doble to The Shapeshifter's Lola’s Theme.

Meanwhile, Jamie Borthwick & Michelle Tsiakkas will perform the Argentine Tango to ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ by Arctic Monkeys, Shayne Ward &
