Movies Week on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ has delivered some absolute gems over the years. Scott Mills performing a Samba dressed as Sebastian the crab. Peter Andre channelling Captain Jack Sparrow for a Waltz. And then there was last year’s treat of Ed Balls dressed as The Mask.
Well, any ‘Strictly’ fans fearing this year’s Movie Week wouldn’t live up to previous years needn’t worry, because the list of songs and dances for this week’s performances has been released and we’ve got four words: Susan Calman. Wonder Woman.
And trust us, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
If this list is anything to go by, we can also look forward to Mollie King strutting her stuff in a nun’s habit, Ruth Langsford unleashing her inner ‘Bond’ girl and Reverend Richard Coles becoming Flash Gordon.
