Dancing With The Stars are shaking things up and introducing the “Dance Off.”
Last night’s show saw the first twist in the show with celebrities switching things up with new partners.
Next weekend the stars will go back to their original partners – and the pressure is on.

Adding a dance off will limit the influence of the controversial public vote on the show and give the contestants a chance to fight for their place.
The format follows on from the Strictly Come Dancing format, which sees the weakest two acts battling it out in front of the judges.
From Sunday, the bottom two acts will go head to head as they take to the floor for a second time and it will be the judges who have the final say on who stays and who goes.
Until now, it was the couple who received the lowest scores combined with the lowest votes from the public that left.
This format caused outrage among fans when Des Bishop left the show despite receiving the third highest scores from the judges that night.
