Strictly Come Dancing 2019: This week's song and dances with a special Remembrance Day performance

The BBC has announced which songs and dances will feature in this week's Strictly Come Dancing.

This weekend - where the remaining eight couples will battle it out - marks another mixture of songs from I Just Want to Make Love to You by Etta James to 2wei's version of the Destiny Child track, Survivor.

Mike Bushell, who has been in the bottom two for three weeks in a row, is vying to win over the judges with a paso doble to Tamacun by Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Meanwhile Alex Scott is hoping to dance the Jive to Let's Twist Again by Chubby Checker with her partner, Neil Jones.

Jones had been forced to pull out for two weeks after injuring his calf. He was replaced by pro Kevin Clifton.

As Sunday marks Remembrance Sunday, the pros will also perform a dance to Cyndi Lauper's classic, Time After Time.

This weekend’s musical guest will be West End and The Hobbit star Luke Evans.

Here is the full list of songs and dance:

• Alex and Neil: Jive to Let’s Twist Again by Chubby Checker
  

• Emma and Anton: Couples’ Choice (Theatre / Jazz) to Right Now by The Pussycat Dolls
  

• Michelle and Giovanni: American Smooth to I Just Want To Make Love To You by Etta James
  

• Saffron and AJ: Waltz to Your Song by Ellie Goulding
  

• Chris and Karen: Tango to Survivor by 2wei
  

• Karim and Amy: Viennese Waltz to Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran

  Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One at 6.50pm on Saturday, November 9.
