Strictly Come Dancing 2016 – Week 3 Songs/Dances

Sorry this is a little late. I’ve been hard at work moving the site to yet another new host and making a few additional behind the scenes changes which should hopefully let the site cope with all you lovely people refreshing it at 10pm on a Saturday Night. We’re a couple of days away from week 3 which will be movie week and the BBC a couple of days ago announced who will be dancing and to what music. So here are the routines:

Melvin Odoom Eliminated From Strictly Come Dancing 2016

In what has been one of the most controversial not live results shows in the entire history of Strictly, Melvin and Janette have been eliminated after Anastacia and Brendan were unable participate in the Dance Off due to injury. The production team made the decision to revert to the public vote rather than have Anastacia withdraw from the competition due to injury and as a result Melvin and Janette were eliminated.

Were the BBC right to revert to the public vote? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section or over on Facebook and Twitter or by voting in the poll below. You can also vote and tell me who your week 2 favourites were at the bottom of this post.
