No, that’s not Claudia adopting a speech impediment for a joke, it’s a new extra dance that’s been thrown into the mix.

After performing their individual routines, the couples won’t be able to relax, they then have to dance a Cha Cha as well.

And you know that Len Goodman is going to be watching like a hawk to make sure they’ve got enough of the correct steps in the dance. Talk about exhausting.

There’s a lot of potential for mistakes, and it could mean that the leaderboard is turned upside down
at a crucial stage of the competition.

Who will be going home tomorrow on the results show, which also features music from Ellie Goulding?
