During Saturday night’s episode, Tess Daly told audiences that the yearly sojourn to Blackpool Tower and its famous ballroom is set to take place in three weeks' time. It will take place during week nine of series 23 - the same point it took place last year.

Viewers can expect the Blackpool live show to be broadcast on Saturday, November 22. It means that three more couples will have left by that point.

The show first went to Blackpool Tower back in 2004, more than two decades ago. Who do you want to make it to Blackpool week the most?
