Huge rock legends will make TV comeback with performance on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend
Strictly Come Dancing bosses have lined up a musical treat for fans this weekend.
Scottish rockers Snow Patrol will perform live in the studio on Saturday night – with the performance airing on Sunday night’s results show.
Insiders told The Sun how the band, fronted by Gary Lightbody, were in London today for rehearsals.
A source said: “Strictly always delivers when it comes to their musical performances and tomorrow night is Snow Patrol.
“All the celebs and pros are really excited – and some of the latter will be performing during their set.
“Fans will have to wait and see what it looks like on Sunday but it’s gearing up to be really special.”
Previously Strictly has featured performances from stars including Ellie Goulding and Jessie Ware.
This weekend Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec are the couple to beat, as they topped the leaderboard last week with 34 points.
Tomorrow night they will dance a Charleston to Unhealthy by Anne-Marie and Shania Twain.
Paul Merson is the bookies favourite to be eliminated this week.
He will dance a Quickstep to I Won’t Dance by Fred Astaire with his partner Karen Hauer.
Earlier this week Strictly bosses announced a brand new special week – which would be added on to Movies, Blackpool and Musicals.
Icons will celebrate some of the biggest names in music and during the results show on Sunday November 3, the pros will perform a special Beyonce medley.
Fan favourite Johannes Radebe will take centre stage and according to the BBC will be “channelling his inner Sasha Fierce as the protagonist in the routine”.
