London, October 19: Gymnast Louis Smith and his dance partner Flavia Cacace will be recreating routines by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey from the 1987 hit film ‘Dirty Dancing’ on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ on Saturday.

The 23-year-old looked more than happy to take on the challenge as he practised with his professional dance partner.

Cacace, who was partnered by astrologer Russell Grant last year, seems to be making the most of having Smith as her dance partner.

The gymnast, who won silver and bronze at this summer’s Games, has impressed the judges so far, and he and Cacace are currently joint top of the judge’s leader board.

Photos released from rehearsals show the pair recreating the well-known scenes in which Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman, played by Grey, is put through her paces by Swayze’s Johnny Castle. (ANI)
