John Whaite and Johannes Radebe will perform their ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Couple’s Choice to ‘Hometown Glory’ by Adele.

The pair have made it through to this weekend’s semi finals after impressing the judges and viewers with their Salsa set to Sister Sledge’s hit ‘We Are Family’, and now the song and dance list for Saturday’s episode (11.12.21) has been revealed.

As well as their Couple’s Choice, John and Jonannes will also do the Jive to Coldplay track ‘Higher Power’.

Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice are set to perform a Waltz to Ellie Goulding’s ‘How Long Will I Love You’, while ‘A Evaristo Carriego’ by Eduardo Rovira will provide the soundtrack to their Argentine Tango.

Meanwhile, Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu will dance the Samba to Michael Buble’s ‘It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera)’, and their Tango will be set to Queen classic ‘One Vision’.

AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington – who were saved by the judges over the weekend when they found themselves in the dance-off against Dan Walker and Nadiya Bychkova – will do the Quickstep to Benny Goodman’s ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’, and a Rumba set to Maria McKee’s ‘Show Me Heaven’.

Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Shirley Ballas were unanimous with their decision to save AJ and Kai and send them to the semi-finals.

Craig said: “Well I’ve got to say, Dan I think you did such a great job in the dance off, that’s the best I’ve ever seen you dance, ever! AJ, you totally nailed that last bit, that was fantastic, a dilemma, but the couple I am going to save is AJ and Kai.” Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday night at 7.20pm on BBC One.

Motsi agreed: “Well another strong dance off. It’s just an amazing year and to be part of the team I think is absolutely sensational. Dan you did a great job, AJ you did, for me, the better job, and I’m saving AJ and Kai.”

Anton said: “Can I just say, it’s a thing to make the quarter finals of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, and to pick this year of all years, to make the quarter finals would have guaranteed you a place in the final in any other year. It was an immense dance off, congratulations to both of you. You danced brilliantly, but the edge just goes, for me, to AJ and Kai.”

Head judge Shirley confirmed she would have voted with the panel.

She said: “On this performance alone, I would have saved AJ and Kai.”

‘Strictly Come Dancing’ will return to BBC One at 7.05pm on Saturday, December 11.
