If you were wondering if the celebs really are nervous when taking to the dance floor for the live shows, Chris McCausland shared his thoughts ahead of the show, tweeting: "Today is the day. The actual day. Not that Last pre-recorded day. The actual first dance - live on the telly - don't balls it up - spend five hours sat on the toilet day. Yikes!"
Goodness!
Toyah Wilcox and Neil Jones Tango to the top
Wow that was certainly something! Toyah and Neil took to the dance floor for a rocky performance - and we have to admit that we're very impressed by Toyah's hair flicking prowess!

The show's second-ever deaf star Tasha Ghouri is up next with the prodigal son returning, Aljaz Skorjanec! With Aljaz out of retirement and the Love Island star already a dancing pro, we suspect that this perforance is going to be excellent!
And we were right! Anton, Shirley and Motsi were all full of praise, while Craig said: "Slay, slay, slay!" And the moment that Tasha took out her cochlear implant to feel the moment? Amazing!
