Strictly Come Dancing got underway last week, with Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse sashaying straight to the top of the leaderboard with their impressive Samba. But can they stay there? The new songs and dances for week two of the competition have been released, with the current favourites taking on the Waltz, which they will perform to the track What The World Needs Now by Burt Bacharach. CBBC presenter Karim Zeroual and his partner Amy Dowden, who are currently in second place with 31 points thanks to their Cha-Cha-Cha, will be dancing the Foxtrot to The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra - and will no doubt be hoping to pip Kelvin and Oti to the top spot this week.
