Toyah Willcox and Neil Jones narrowly made it through to this weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing in the first 2024 dance-off.
On last Sunday’s results show, Neil and Toyah were saved by the judges as Tom Dean and Nadiya Bychkova went home.
This weekend, they’re preparing to perform a samba for Movie Week – but some fans are worried.

Toyah and Neil on Strictly 2024
On Tuesday evening, the pair appeared on Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two. They discussed their upcoming routine with host Fleur East.
They revealed they’ll be dancing a samba to Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid. Toyah, 66, will take on the role of Ursula while Neil, 42, will be ‘Neil the eel’.
On ITT, Neil said: “What I’m loving about this is Toyah can get into the character, so she’s going to be playing a villain. She’s going to be in charge.

“It’s a very slow samba which means we can show a lot more. We’re working on the technique and we’re bringing that forward.”
They’re not even hiding the fact they’re setting Toyah and Neil up for failure.
Toyah added: “I’m so excited. Today we’ve done so much footwork and I’ve loved every minute of it. This is a slow, spiteful, funny dance.
“It’s just going to be great!”
She then said: “I’m taking this dance super serious.”

Another commented: “Poor Unfortunate Souls for a samba WTF.”
Someone added: “They are setting Neil and Toyah up for a fail.”
Another simply wrote: “Sabotage.
