Sophie Ellis-Bextor is set to perform Murder on the Dancefloor in front of Barry Keoghan at the BAFTA Awards after actor's iconic Saltburn dance turned it into a streaming smash


Sophie Ellie-Bextor is set to take to the stage at the 2024 BAFTAs to perform her hit single Murder On The Dance Floor in front of Saltburns' Barry Keoghan.

Barry will be going up against the likes of Bradley Cooper, Cillian Murphy, Colman Domingo, Teo Yoo and Paul Giametti for Leading Actor at the awards. Sophie's hit, which was released 23 years ago, features in the finale of Emerald Fennell's much talked about film, when main character Oliver – played by Barry – dances naked to the song. The film's popularity – with the dancing scene trending on social media – meant that earlier this month Murder On The Dancefloor was in the top five most played tracks in the world.
