Strictly Professionals Channel Britney Spears for Icons Week Group Dance

Strictly Come Dancing's professional dancers paid tribute to Britney Spears during Icons Week by each embodying one of her iconic looks in a group performance on the results show. Amy Dowden notably wore the famous schoolgirl outfit from "Baby One More Time," while Katya Jones donned the red bodysuit from "Oops!... I Did It Again," and other dancers represented costumes from Spears' videos like "Toxic," "If You Seek Amy," and "Circus." The tribute was part of a broader Icons Week celebration honoring music legends including Dolly Parton, Cher, Beyoncé, and Prince, with celebrity contestants also performing dances inspired by these stars. Despite the celebratory performances, Amy Dowden and partner Thomas Skinner became the first couple eliminated after a salsa dance-off. Additionally, the show is set to see longtime hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman depart after 21 years, marking the end of an era for the series. This tribute highlighted Spears' extensive influence on pop culture through her memorable music and style.
