Dancing stars in Eurovision contest
9:15pm Saturday 6th September 2008
Strictly Come Dancing pair Louisa Lytton and Vincent Simone will represent the UK at Saturday night's Eurovision Dance Contest.
The former EastEnder and her professional partner have gone back to the ballroom for the second outing of the dancing tournament.
Couples from across Europe compete in the contest, held in Glasgow and screened on BBC1.
Lytton, 19, who plays Pc Beth Green in The Bill, was the youngest ever Strictly contestant when she appeared in the fourth series with the likes of Emma Bunton and victor Mark Ramprakash.
Italian-born Simone split with his lover and professional dance partner Flavia Cacace, amid rumours of a romance between Cacace and her Strictly Come Dancing partner Matt Di Angelo.
The Eurovision Dance Contest is fronted by Graham Norton and Claudia Winkleman and features a professional and non-professional from each nation.
Strictly Come Dancing judges Len Goodman and Craig Revel Horwood will comment on performances but the winner is decided by a public vote and a separate panel of judges.
Last year, Finland won the contest and Brendan Cole and Camilla Dallerup flopped, finishing second from last.
The Eurovision Dance Contest is taking place at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) and will be broadcast on BBC1 at 8pm.
