Another week, another round of Strictly – and this time, it's Movie Week! The BBC has announced the songs and dances the couples will take on this weekend, which will also feature the first Couple's Choice dance of the series – and the first guest coach and mentor, Wicked's Cynthia Erivo. The Couple's Choice dance allows contestants to break away from the traditional ballroom and Latin styles, taking the reins to showcase a wider range of moves and skills. Taking to Instagram, the BBC revealed the full list of dances and songs – and while many fans praised the line-up, it was George Clarke and his partner Alexis's choice of 'Soda Pop' from Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters that raised eyebrows.

In the comments, fans were left slightly stunned by the choice. "George and Alexis got wronged. They'll still somehow find a way to make Soda Pop good though," said one person, while another added: "Bit shocking making George's Couple's Choice Soda Pop." A third viewer wrote: "Can we stop calling it 'Couple's Choice' and just rename it a freestyle or something? It couldn't be more clear George and Alexis didn't pick anything at all…"
While the song choice might not be everyone's cup of tea, we can't wait to see what George and Alexis do with the catchy tune. Read on to find out what the other contestants are dancing to for Movie Week…
