Synopsis
Six wheelchair users are paired up with celebrities and taught how to dance by Strictly's Brian Fortuna, who has taught wheelchair dancing for several years. Each week sees half the couples learning one dance, while the other half learn a different dance. Each programme follows the couples through their practice sessions, before focusing on their performance in front of the judging panel. After seeing each couple perform, the judges make their decision on which couple will be eliminated. The field is narrowed week by week, until only one couple is left, who then go forward to compete in the Wheelchair Dance Sport European Championships, in Israel (and yes, you're right, Israel isn't in Europe).
This programme has not yet aired. A full review will appear here after broadcast.
Trivia
The celebrity partners are: Heather Small (singer), Mark Foster (swimmer), Caroline Flack (presenter), Martin Offiah (rugby player), Michelle Gayle (actor) and Kevin Sacre (actor).
