Format

The show pairs a number of celebrities with professional dancers who each week compete against each other in a competition to impress a panel of judges and the viewing public in order to survive potential elimination. Through a telephone poll, viewers vote who should stay, the results of the poll being combined with the ranking of the panel of judges. Couple with lowest number points drop out from each episode. Each judge gives the performance a mark out of ten, giving an overall total out of thirty.
