Strictly Come Dancing returned to our screens tonight (October 26) with a spooky special to celebrate Halloween week.

This week’s musical selections had a Halloween twist as they included Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees, Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader, The Addams Family theme song, Love Potion No 9 by the Clovers and more.

In tomorrow’s results show, the professional dancers will showcase a routine, choreographed by Matt Flint, that will see Carlos Gu dressed as the lead character of Tim Burton’s 1988 horror comedy film and its sequel which was released in September.

The remaining 11 couples gave it their all tonight and will be hoping to stay in the competition for one more week.

With the next pair of dancers set to be eliminated on Sunday night (October 27), here are the current judges' scores and the Strictly leaderboard ahead of the public vote and dance-off.
