THIS weekend one Strictly star will not just be dancing for her spot in the next round.
Rottingdean resident Saffron Barker revealed why this weekend's dance would be "special" to her in an appearance on This Morning yesterday.
Host Holly Willoughby said the performance, a contemporary dance, was Saffron's favourite style to watch, but said there was another reason why it would be so important for Saffron to "get it right".
The 19-year-old said: "The song is actually my nan's favourite.
"It means so much to her and she loves the lyrics.
"It's like a milestone for our family really, it was played as my mum's wedding song and at my grandparents anniversary party."
Saffron and her professional partner, AJ Pritchard, will be dancing to Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me.
Saffron joked that her nan, Ivy, was "already crying every week".
Hosts Holly and Phillip Schofield surprised them with a good luck message from Ivy, who Saffrion said was a "massive fan" of both Strictly Come Dancing and This Morning.
She said: "I'm so proud of you Saff.
"All the luck in the world my darlings and I'll see you on Saturday."
