The Strictly Come Dancing stars have hit Blackpool, and look like they've been making themselves at home as the show relocates for one weekend only.

Every year, the hit BBC One dance competition heads up north to the seaside town where the programme is broadcast live from the Tower Ballroom.

The live show on Saturday night will see hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman steering the hit dancing juggernaut while the eight remaining couples will perform on the legendary venue's spring floor.

As well as the performances from the celebrities and their professional dance partners who made it through to week nine of Strictly's 2024 series, this Saturday's (November 16) live show will also feature a performance from Pet Shop Boys, who will open it with a medley of hits as the Strictly professional dancers perform a routine.
