Strictly Come Dancing is back and its first life show is believed to feature ‘the biggest number ever performed by the judges’ as they return under the glitterball on Saturday.
Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton du Beke will take to the stage to dance through the decades starting in 1970, according to the Mirror.
To kick off the performance in 1970s, Craig will dazzle in four different costume for his character of compere and DJ.
Throughout the four and a half minute performance, he will sport a range of dramaic looks, one of which will include a pink frilly shirt.
Head judge Shirley will appear with dramatic volumised hair for a Copacabana-style 80s routine.
Motsi will send the audiences’ pulses racing with a sexy rumba to depict the 90s, while Anton will round it back to the 70s with classic lines and tailcoats.

A source told the publication: ‘Craig gives a commentary on the decades as he completes his astonishing costume changes, which leave him in the present day. He looks happy, which viewers should make the most of. This could be the last time we see him smile for many weeks.’
The source revealed that professional dancers Dianne Buswell, Neil Jones and Karen Hauer will perform as backing singers.
Their performance is reportedly pre-recorded and is ‘back with a bang and is bigger and more fun than ever before’.
Strictly bosses have now found a replacement for Dani Dyer after she pulled out with a fractured ankle on Tuesday.
Amber Davies has been announced as the latest addition to the Strictly Come Dancing cast, replacing Dani following her injury in rehearsals.
Love Island star Amber, 28, is a trained West End performer and will make her debut on Saturday night for the first live show of the series – dancing with partner Nikita Kuzmin.
With her rounding out the cast, a surprisingly large amount of the celebrities on this year’s Strictly already have prior dance experience.
While the purpose of the show is for the celebrity contestants to learn how to dance from their professional partners, it appears many of them won’t need much help at all.

The star has a Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre and Dance, took dance as a GCSE subject at school, and trained at Danceworld Stage School.
She attended Urdang Academy for the performing arts as a teenager, where she trained in musical theatre.
Amber also previously worked as a dancer at London nightclub Cirque Le Soir.
Just last year, Amber was a contestant on ITV’s Dancing On Ice where she finished in an impressive fifth place with pro skating partner Simon Proulx-Senecal.
Many Strictly fans were unimpressed with the signing due to Amber’s past dance experience.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC on Saturday at 6.55pm
