Claudia Winkleman and Steve Jones host the charity dance challenge. Denise Van Outen, Vic Reeves and Jo Brand judge the likes of Stephen K Amos and a group of Grumpy Old Women.

It's the last chance for two more celebrity acts to join the likes of Rufus Hound and Katy Brand in the grand final. Hosts Claudia Winkleman and Steve Jones run the rule over the latest batch of brave celebrities to put their carefully cultivated reputations on the line.

The previous episode saw another display of comedy choreography from the likes of Shappi Khorsandi and Debra Stephenson, as well as a hard-hitting performance from a team of boxers lead by Carl Froch. With tension at an all-time high in the final week of heats, what will it take to win over viewers and judges and book a place in the final?

Queen of the stage show Denise Van Outen is joined by 2009 finalist Jo Brand and Shooting Star Vic Reeves on the panel of judges to rule over the likes of comedian Stephen K Amos, a group of Grumpy Old Women and a pair of ex-England footballers as they demonstrate their fancy footwork on the dancefloor.

Plus music from US pop sensation Justin Bieber and a performance of All That Jazz by the cast of West End smash hit musical Chicago.
