With the Wellerman now starting to sink, the novelty box is ticked this week by the United Kingdolls. Also looking fierce are Taylor Swift and friend of the show Dua Lipa, performing her own latest hit after guesting with Miley Cyrus last week.

In non-shanty news, friend of the show The Weeknd is back, as is megastar Justin Bieber and new face Sabrina Carpenter.
