We're only a few days away from the BBC's ballroom opening its doors once again as Strictly Come Dancing Week 5 commences.

Fresh off perhaps the most shocking and emotional elimination of the series thus far, head judge Shirley Ballas and her compatriots Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell will only be turning up the heat for the remaining contestants.

Check out the official song-and-dance lineup for this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing extravaganza below:

1. Alexandra Burke and Gorka Márquez will dance the samba to 'Shape of You'.

2. Aston Merrygold and Janette Manrara will dance the waltz to 'Can't Help Falling in Love'.

3. Brian Conley and Amy Dowden will dance the jive to 'It's Not Unusual'.

4. Davood Ghadami and Nadiya Bychkova will dance the jive to 'Tell Her About It'.

5. Debbie McGee and Giovanni Pernice will dance the rumba to 'Baby Can I Hold You?'.

6. Gemma Atkinson and Aljaž Skorjanec will dance the foxtrot to 'Believe' (Madilyn Bailey version).

7. Joe McFadden and Katya Jones will dance the Paso Doble to 'Diablo Rojo'.

8. Jonnie Peacock and Oti Mabuse will dance the quickstep to 'Part-Time Lover'.

9. Mollie King and AJ Pritchard will dance the Viennese Waltz to 'Anyone Who Had a Heart'.

10. Ruth Langsford and Anton du Beke will dance the samba to 'Love is in the Air'.

11. Simon Rimmer and Karen Clifton will dance the Charleston to 'Fit as a Fiddle (and Ready for Love)'.

12. Susan Calman and Kevin Clifton will dance the Cha-Cha-Cha to 'Shout Out to My Ex'.

All of these couples will be hoping to avoid the same fate as Charlotte Hawkins and Brendan Cole, who lost the dreaded dance-off to Davood Ghadami and his partner Nadiya Bychkova on Sunday.

Brendan Cole has since called his early exit from the competition "devastating", and has fans questioning whether or not he'll be walking away for good from Strictly Come Dancing after this setback.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday (October 21) at 6.35pm on BBC One, with another couple leaving on Sunday (October 22) at 7.15pm.
