Kirsty Gallacher and partner Brendan Cole could give Ainsley a run for his money as they attempt a Salsa to Can’t Touch It by Ricki Lee while broadcaster Jeremy Vine can hardly wait until Saturday.

Jeremy will be dancing the American Smooth to Happy Together by The Turtles with partner Karen Clifton.
