Synopsis
Comic Relief fundraiser in which a mixture of celebrity solo acts, duos and groups recreate classic dance routines for your votes. Six acts each week, the winner of the public vote goes straight through to the final, and the three judges (Du Beke and two guests each week) choose between the second and third-placed acts.
Arguably more entertaining than the Red Nose Day telethon itself, and it quite rightly hammered The Colour of Money in the ratings too. It has been confirmed to return for Sport Relief in 2010.
