Strictly star ‘in real trouble and set to be sent home’ say fans – and it’s good news for JB Gill and Lauren
STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Icon Week songs have been revealed, with viewers believing it signals the end of the line for one couple.
With 10 couples left in the competition, this week the stars will be fighting for their place by paying homage to some of music’s biggest icons.
Whether they have decades of influence or have a personal meaning to them, the Strictly stars will be turning into the idols in a bid to fight another day.
Among the performances, Montell Jordan and Johannes Radebe will take on a Vienesse Waltz to I Will Always Love You, while Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell will be tangoing to iconic glam rock track, Rock and Roll All Nite By KISS.
Shayne Ward will honour The Beatles with a dance to Help!, while Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin will be celebrating Taylor Swift.
However, after seeing the tracklist, fans have taken to Reddit to see who they think will be up for the chop and who could come out on top.
Many believe that JB Gill, who will be dancing with Lauren Oakley this week after Amy Dowden fell ill after last week’s live show, will be safe – but one notes that one star is at “real risk”.
They wrote: “I think JB will be safe because of couples choice plus sympathy votes for Amy, which is a formidable combination which puts Wynne at real risk this week.”
“Wynne in trouble,” said another. “Also cha cha for Sarah now prob means no dance to Proud.”
Proud by Heather Smalls was a track that became synonymous with Sarah Hadland’s character on hit comedy, Miranda.
“Worried for Wynne this week! But I think Katya will think up a clever routine to help get him through it,” said another.
But they added, “I think (now think…) that Shayne might be safe? Nancy’s previous 2 Quicksteps (also danced in Week 7) have been good and plus the fact that Shayne is a Ballroom boy could see this being his breakthrough (I am coping so hard).”
The BBC favourite has faced some last minute changes this week after Amy Dowden fell sick and was taken to hospital after Saturday’s live performance.
The Welsh pro, who suffers from Chron’s disease and completed cancer treatment earlier this year, was looked after by paramedics who later transferred her to hospital to be checked out.
While it’s been noted she’s doing better, Lauren is stepping in with JB for the week so she can rest up.
