Welcome to a Spooktacular Halloween Night

Be prepared to scream because it's Halloween!

It's going to be a frightfully good week six of Strictly, full of special tricks and treats. Angela Rippon is transforming into Angela Lansbury, Ellie and Vito are turning into Disco Zombies and Bobby and Dianne perform a fairytale routine as Hansel and Gretel.

It's going to be terrifyingly entertaining, but the scariest part of the night will be the public vote. For one couple, fright night will mark the end of their Strictly journey, so when you get the go-ahead from Claudia, head to the homepage to place your vote and save your favourite. All the voting information can be found here.

Now grab your treats and watch our couples perform some tricks at 6:45 on BBC One. Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok for all the behind-the-scenes as they happen.

    It's not a level playing field with Layton in the competition. Of course he's good, hes a professional dancer and i dont buy the "oh but this is different " tosh. Hopefully the voters will decide what's right eventually.

      Agreed. Of course there's a lot of crossover between his work in musical theatre (learning dances, performing before an audience, etc) and what he's doing now. It does give him an advantage. But, he's an excellent dancer so hopefully we can enjoy his dances but he won't win - he's not what Strictly audiences vote for (hence why Hamza won last year; he wasn't the best dancer but he started out as a complete novice and really went for it).

    Loved Antons comments for Annabel and Johannes about staying in hold and doing a proper Tango from beginning to end and thought she did really well

    Annabel definitely undermarked. She will be getting my votes tonight

      She always seems to be undermarked, unjustifiably may I add!

    Angela's marks ridiculous. And a 9 from Craig? Really?? I must be on the wrong planet tonight. I expected a 6 and 7s for that.

      Not as much effort put into this Charleston as usually required, but good for age as it lacked the fun

    Well done Annabel! A proper tango!

      Annabel and Johannes had simple choreography and yet still mistakes

    Angela overmarked, Shirley stated we need to be fair. Maybe she should practice what she preaches.

      Totally agree. It’s spoiling the whole competition!!!!! I’ve been a fan since the start and this is the first time I’ve been disappointed

    A 9 from Craig for Angela??? Whaaaaat??

      Utterly ridiculous. It was the slowest charleston I have ever seen on Strictly, she spent most of the time sitting down or being lifted off the floor. It was awful.

    Fabulous Krishnan.... No counting tonight what a journey you are having...Well done

      ...And the singing wasnt bad either. I was bit concerned, but the verse was great!

    Yes Angela is great for her age but she should be judged the same as the other competitors. Every week she is overmarked as is Layton.

      I don’t think you can say which was good from a professional view unless you have the experience.

    Can’t believe that Charleston got a 9 🧐🧐🧐

    The judges are so biased towards Leyton, we all know he is a professional dancer which is unfair to the rest

      And yet Shirley and Craig criticised him ????

  • Comment posted by LIZ JENKINS, at 20:13 28 Oct 2023

    Shirley is a hypocrite, she’s not treating every contestant the same. She really doesn’t like Katya and it shows. Nigel made mistakes but she didn’t give him a nine.

      I agree, it’s very obvious who Shirley likes/dislikes both celeb & professionals

    Shirley is annoying me immensely…..even more so than usual! 😡😡😡

    Annabelle deserved more marks than that! So cross, a proper, well danced tango! That is what they all said and scored 7’s except for Anton!
