The ballroom is transformed into a haunted house for the annual Halloween spectacular, one of the most anticipated and treacherous nights of the entire competition. The remaining couples must perform routines that are not only technically sound but also theatrically convincing, all while contending with elaborate costumes and ghoulish makeup. It is a week where a creative concept can earn a perfect score or a clumsy gimmick can send a couple straight to the bottom of the leaderboard.
With the glitterball trophy now a tangible goal, the pressure is immense. The judges are ready to offer both tricks and treats with their scores, meaning no one is safe from their critical eye. Which couple will conjure up a spellbinding performance to bewitch the public, and whose routine will prove to be a genuine dancefloor horror, leaving them vulnerable in the results show?
Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturday November 1, at 6:35pm on BBC One.
