Strictly Come Dancing: Stars gear up for Halloween week

The spooky season has arrived in the ballroom of Strictly Come Dancing! Stars are getting ready for the show’s annual Halloween Week, set to feature songs by Charli XCX, Lady Gaga, and Benson Boone. This themed week is one of several that occur each season, including Movies, Blackpool, Musicals, and Icons. As anticipation grows for who will replace presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, speculation continues after their recent announcement of their departure at the end of the current series.

Outside Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire, fans have suggested potential new hosts like Alesha Dixon, Zoe Ball, and Alison Hammond. The grand finale of this year’s Strictly is scheduled for 20th December, with Winkleman and Daly making their final appearance on the Christmas Day special. During last week’s show, the departing duo acknowledged their impending exit, expressing gratitude for the supportive messages from viewers. Additionally, this weekend will feature a special appearance from Celebrity Traitors star Cat Burns during the Sunday night results show.

As the couples gear up for Saturday night’s performances, there is a buzz surrounding the Halloween-themed routines. The judges, including Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke, are expected to join in the Halloween spirit with their own costumes. This week marks a milestone as week six is nearly halfway through the competition, promising plenty of thrills and chills for viewers. Whether the couples will be able to cast a spell with their performances remains to be seen, as one pair will face elimination during the Sunday night results show.
