Since its debut in 2004, Strictly has wowed viewers with special themed weeks such as Movies, Musicals, and Blackpool. And now, there's a new one in the mix. This exciting news was announced on the latest episode of It Takes Two by host Janette Manrara.

That's right, Strictly Come Dancing is honoring some of the biggest icons from the music industry with a spectacular themed week on November 2nd. Get ready to go Gaga as our talented couples take on dances to different legends. And to give us a taste of what's to come, a clip was shown of the pros, led by Johannes Radebe, performing a stunning routine to Beyonce's Run the World.
However, not everyone seems convinced. Some fans took to social media to express their skepticism, questioning if this theme is truly original or just a recycled version of previous ones. But we assure you, this will be a week like no other, paying tribute to music legends from various decades.
But hold on, there's more exciting news. This themed week won't be a one-time thing, as the BBC has announced it will become a regular part of the series moving forward. So get ready to see our favorite celebrities and pros honor even more iconic musicians in the future.
In the past, Strictly has featured special themed weeks such as Around the World and BBC 100 Week, which celebrated the broadcaster's centennial by having contestants perform to theme songs from iconic BBC shows. And just last week, we saw the first themed week of the current season, with the remaining contestants paying homage to popular movies like Barbie, Harry Potter, Mrs. Doubtfire, Rocketman, and The Little Mermaid.
As the competition heats up, we've already said goodbye to two couples - Olympian Tom Dean and his partner Nadiya Bychkova, followed by Toyah Willcox and Neil Jones on the most recent episode. Who will be next to leave the dancefloor? Tune in to Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday at 6.20pm on BBC One to find out.
