BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans spot 'greatest thing to ever happen' minutes into Halloween week

by · Manchester Evening News

Strictly Come Dancing fans had their jaws on the floor just minutes into the show's annual Halloween week getting underway - after spotting the 'greatest thing to ever happen'.

It was all about the most spooktacular evening of the year in the ballroom as week six of the BBC One dance contest got underway on Saturday night (October 26).

During the latest live show, the remaining 11 couples took to the ballroom floor once again, this time dressed in spooky attire, in the hopes of making it through to another week in Strictly's 20th-anniversary series.

It's then during Sunday’s (October 27) results show, the dancers will showcase a routine, choreographed by Matt Flint, that sees Carlos Gu dressed as the lead character of Tim Burton’s 1988 horror comedy film – and its sequel, released last month.

But back to Saturday night and it was judges Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke who stunned fans as they appeared dressed as the Grady sisters from Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film.

And fans couldn't believe what they were seeing. @buckstardis said: "WHAT ARE ANTON AND CRAIG WEARING #strictly." @GiNgEr_JaMeS commented: "The Craig and Anton outfits might be the greatest thing to ever happen in #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing."

All eyes were on Craig and Anton

@abbie_louisee shared: "Omg craig &anton i was not expecting that #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly." @JackTheFact29 posted: "Craig & Anton cosplaying as The Shining twins has already won them Halloween! #Strictly." @ifeelflames added: "Craig & Anton have finished me #StrictlyComeDancing #strictly."

As well as Craig and Anton, Motsi Mabuse came dressed as classic Disney villain Cruella de Vill while head judge Shirley Ballas appeared as Hocus Pocus' Winifred Sanderson.
