Two lucky dance couples were given 'Couples' Choice' this week, meaning that they can choose a dance style that isn't usually seen in ballroom dancing as a special change up to the normal routines on the popular show, Strictly Come Dancing. As such, it has been revealed that Lauren and AJ will be performing a contemporary dance to Runnin' by Naughty Boy feat. Beyonce, while Charles and Karen will do a street and commercial routine to Get Up Off That Thing by James Brown.
