Dancing With The Stars presenters Jennifer Zamparelli and Laura Fox will be taking to the floor this Sunday night.
The Team Dance challenge is back – and the battle is on as this week’s theme is Boy Bands vs Girl Groups.
For the first time in the competition, each couple will dance two competitive routines. As usual, each couple will dance an individual routine, this week inspired by a boy band banger or a girl group classic.
The couples will then join forces for the annual Team Dance challenge.
This year, it’s boys against girls, with hosts Jen and Laura thrown into the mix alongside the couples and the judges.
They will be team captains and will dance live on the night.
Having survived the first dreaded Dance-Off last week, Olympic rower Philip Doyle will dance a Charleston alongside his partner Daniela Roze to ‘Love Machine’ by Girls Aloud.
Following on from his leaderboard-topping Charleston last week, Ireland AM presenter Eric Roberts and partner Arianna Favaro will dance a Cha-cha-cha to Jonas Brothers’ hit ‘Waffle House’.
