Pete Wicks has admitted that he is "petrified" ahead of Strictly Come Dancing's first ever Samba-Thon tonight.
After all seven couples have performed their regular routines, they will return to the dancefloor en masse and start to dance a Samba.
The judges will gradually boot off the couples one by one, with the first out earning one bonus point, and so on, with the last couple standing earning seven points, which will be added to their scores on the leaderboard before the viewer voting opens.
"I don't get nervous, but I'm petrified of this," said former TOWIE star Wicks, who finished bottom of the leaderboard last week with pro partner Jowita Przystal.
"This is the most nervous I've ever been about doing anything. Genuinely. This is so far out of my comfort zone."
Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight at 7.05pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
