Week 1: Ricky Groves' Cha Cha

Former EastEnders actor Ricky Groves and his dance partner Erin Boag perform a Cha Cha to the song "Jump", made famous by the Pointer Sisters and Girls Aloud.

In the second live show of the series, the eight celebrities in Group A - Chris Hollins, Ali Bastian, Lynda Bellingham, Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Groves, Martina Hingis, Jade Johnson and Rav Wilding - took to the floor to perform their Latin routine.

After the judges and the public had spoken, two couples faced the dreaded Dance-Off: Rav Wilding and his partner Aliona Vilani, and Martina Hingis and her partner Matthew Cutler.

Sadly, the judges decided that Martina would be the first celebrity dancer to leave Strictly Come Dancing 2009.
