It's the second week of Strictly, and the celebrities are taking to the floor to dance either a Salsa or Foxtrot. We'll be live at 'studio door' to bring you all the drama of the dancefloor with backstage quotes and pictures.
Who will top the leader board this week, and who will be a dance disaster? We'd love to know your thoughts, stay right here and comment along live...
Here come the girls...
Chelsee: "I was more nervous than last week. My legs were like jelly"
Edwina: "I really enjoyed that dance but I prefer the dances where we're in hold"
Natalie: "That was by far our best performance!"
Alex: "We got 8s!! I am so pleased!!"
Dan: "Phew! That was a sweaty one!"
Brendan: "You did so well. I'm so proud of you!"
Holly: "I didn't even realise we had the highest score of the night so far! That's great"
Erin: "It might not have been fluid but the routine was certainly all there!"
Robbie: "I'm in shock! I'm still shaking like a leaf"
Anita: "I'm annoyed with myself because I could have done so much better"
Jason: "I'm so pleased because it's been such a difficult week"
Anton: "The judges are becoming ridiculous now. I'm losing respect for them"
Harry: "You're not going to get it right every time. I could have done so much better
Flavia: "What an amazing atmosphere in there!"
