What happens on the Channel 4 reality show?
10 celebrities will battle it out in the new Channel 4 dance competition.
The series will follow them as they move into a beautiful Lakeside location which is reminiscent of the original Kellerman’s resort, where their dance moves will be put to the ultimate test.
They will be placed into different couples each episode as they compete each challenge and take on dance routines based on the iconic scenes from the famous classic film, Dirty Dancing.
The show is inspired by the Australian series of the same name.
The finale of the competition will show the top two couples take on the moment every fan dreams of- that gravity defying lift.
The remaining six celebrities will become backing dancers in this one-off celebratory performance.
Each couple has one thing in common – they all want to be the last couple standing.
