Strictly's first live show will soon be back on our screens, and we can't wait to see the stars showing off their best moves. We've already seen our first celebrity leave as Dani Dyer sadly had to pull out of the show, but she's been replaced with West End star Amber Davies, who will be dancing with Nikita Kuzmin come Saturday. On Friday, it was confirmed which songs the stars would be dancing to on their first week, and we're being treated to modern hits, 70s classics and even the iconic Neighbours theme song, we think you can already guess who will be dancing to that one! Scroll down to see all the songs and dances for the couples…
