The first Strictly Come Dancing live show of 2018 kicked off last weekend, with former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, YouTuber Joe Sugg and Steps singer Faye Tozer all impressing the judging panel. However, the competition is set to heat up even more this weekend as the first elimination of the series is set to take place.

With that in mind, this year's contestants have been working hard in the training room this week, trying to perfect their all important routines. And now the songs and dances that each couple will be performing to have been revealed:

Despite this year's celebrities being put through their paces by their professional dance partners, it sounds like things aren't going well for fashion expert Susannah Constantine, who recently branded her training as 'disastrous'.

Taking to Instagram, the style guru has shared a video diary of how her training is going today, which is Day 3 of rehearsals.

She said, "It’s the beginning of day three of training. How’s it going? I would say I’m walking on a tightrope of disaster as opposed to a nice wide bridge.

"I’m finding it so hard to get the steps. When Anton says, 'What foot are you standing on?' I’ll go, 'right' and it’ll be my left. And he’ll go again, 'What foot are you standing on, front or back?' and I’ll go 'the front' and I’m standing on the back."

Oh dear! 🙈

In other Strictly news, superstar George Ezra has been confirmed as the first musical guest to perform on this year's series. George will perform his massive hit single 'Shotgun' during Sunday night's results show.
