Strictly Come Dancing Professionals Transform Into Britney Spears for Icons Week

Strictly Come Dancing professionals perform a group dance honoring Britney Spears, featuring iconic looks and choreography from her career, during the show's 20th anniversary Icons Week.

  • On Saturday , Strictly Come Dancing's 11 remaining couples perform icon-inspired dances in week five, airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
  • Launched last year to mark the show's 20th anniversary, Icons Week is now in its second year, with Strictly Come Dancing first airing in 2004; producers set the theme for couples to dance to their favourite music heroes.
  • The professional dancers will embody Britney Spears' eras and perform a group dance, with Amy Dowden in Baby One More Time attire, Jowita Przystal replicating the 2001 MTV VMA, Katya Jones in red latex, and Nancy Xu in a Toxic-inspired outfit.
  • Producers warned that the routines are eye-catching, saying the costumes were on point and the women 'let it rip' in one of their sexiest dances ever, and coverage noted it 'might have some people blushing and covering their eyes.'
  • With everything from Cher to Harry Styles, Icons Week honours stars including Beyonce, Celine Dion, Johnny Cash, Usher, Prince, the Spice Girls, Dolly Parton and Ariana Grande with full song and dance pairings revealed.
