taking to the floor for their first routines, safe in the knowledge that nobody would be going home. But that’s not the case tonight as the celebrities and their professional partners (including Tom Fletcher and Amy Dowden, right) will be dancing to impress not just the judges, but also the viewers at home – for the first time this series, the public vote will open. No one wants to fall at the first hurdle, so expect the dancing to be fierce ahead of Sunday night’s results show (7.05pm), when the unlucky loser will be announced.
