BBC DJ Scott Mills, the bookmakers’ favourite to leave, will be transformed into Uncle Fester for his performance of the Foxtrot to the Addams Family theme with partner Joanne Clifton. TV presenter Alison Hammond and Aljaz Skorjanec will dance the American Smooth to Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights, and promised on Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two they will be Cathy and Heathcliff “with a twist”.

EastEnders star Jake Wood, the bookies’ favourite to win the show, and his partner Janette Manrara will perform the Paso Doble to Ram Jam’s Black Betty, and Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge and Kevin Clifton could go green for their Tango to Defying Gravity from the stage musical Wicked.

Blue singer Simon Webbe – who was saved by the judges last week – will dance the Paso Doble to Alice Cooper’s hit Poison with Kristina Rihanoff, while Pixie Lott and Trent Whiddon are expected to give an electrifying Tango performance to Danger! High Voltage by Electric Six.

Meanwhile, Judy joked that her son Jamie has become her coach since she has been taking part in Strictly.

“He’s been telling me what I should be drinking, eating… [and that] I should be watching clips on YouTube to get myself better. He’s kind of turned into my coach and it’s really quite funny!” she told Good Morning Britain hosts Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins.

The 55-year-old coach also hopes her other son Andy, who is playing in Paris this weekend, will cheer her on in the audience.

“There’s a part of me that hopes that he’ll still be in Paris but there’s another part of me that would love him to be there [watching me dance]. That’s payback right there… now you know what it feels like, son!”
