Strictly Come Dancing teams up with Bluey for special routine
The routine will air during Children in Need's live show on Friday 15th November.
Here's a crossover we weren't expecting - beloved animated character Bluey is set to be transported to the Strictly Ballroom, to perform a special dance for Children in Need.
Bluey, the title character of the animated children's show on Disney Plus, will be joined by Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Neil Jones, Gorka Marquez, Johannes Radebe and Michelle Tsiakkas, to perform a playful dance that will include easy moves to dance along to, including The Mashed Potato, The Alligator and The Floss.
These moves will form part of a specially choreographed jaunty group jive to Land of 1000 Dances, and fans will be invited to take part by sharing their own moves using the hashtags #DanceWithBlueyChallenge and #BBCChildrenInNeed.
For more details on how to get involved and join in the fun, fans can visit the BBC Children in Need – Bluey’s Dance Mode Challenge page.
The dance will be broadcast during this year’s BBC Children in Need live show, which will air at 7pm on Friday 15th November on BBC One and iPlayer, and it will be aiming to help raise funds to support the work the charity does helping children and young people all across the UK.
