Week 1: Ali Bastian's Rumba

Actress Ali Bastian and her dance partner Brian Fortuna perform a Rumba to Dionne Warwick and Stevie Wonder's duet "That's What Friends Are For".

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.
