Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special 2019: what are the songs and dances?
The BBC's much-loved dance contest returns for a festive special, but who are the pairs and what will they be dancing to?

They're going to have a (snow) ball. Strictly Come Dancing will have six of its most well-loved stars return for a one-off Christmas special.
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will return to host the special, which will air on BBC One on Christmas Day. Singer Liam Payne will also be crooning his way through a festive single.
And it just wouldn't feel like Strictly without a few familiar faces on the judging panel. Series stalwarts Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood will be on the panel, along with Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas as Head Judge.
Here are all the songs and dances the festive special has in store...
