Strictly Come Dancing: Halloween Week dances
Strictly bosses have finally revealed all this weekend’s dances and songs for Halloween Week. And it looks set to be another great show!
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Karen Hauer are hoping to bring some mystique to the ballroom. The Olympic sprinter and Gladiator – aka Nitro – will be dancing an American Smooth. Harry and Karen’s chosen track is Mystical Magical by Benson Boone.
Karen Carney and Carlos Gu are also looking forward to darker performance. The retired footballer and Carlos will be doing an Argentine Tango this weekend. Their routine is Peaky Blinders-themed. The song chosen is Red Right Hand by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Vicky Pattison and Kai Widdrington have also made it through to Halloween Week. The Geordie reality star will be dancing to Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler. Vicky and Kai will be doing an American Smooth, like Harry and Karen.
Lady Gaga, Charlie XCX and Radiohead
Meanwhile, Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola are through as well. Ellie has started the week at the centre of rumours she has left the show, but she already has plans for Saturday’s live Halloween performance.
Appearing in Sunday night’s Strictly Come Dancing: The Results, she and Vito spilled some details. Ellie told Strictly’s Claudia Winkleman that she would be taking on the role of a magician for Halloween Week. Vito is her rabbit that pops out of her hat. Their dance is a Tango to Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra.
Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe’s dance and song were revealed on Monday evening’s Strictly: It Takes Two. They are doing a Salsa to Horny by Mousse T. We are guessing it will be devil-themed!
George Clarke and Katya Jones are doing a Cha-cha-cha to Charlie XCX’s Apple. Lewis Cope and Katya Jones are dancing to Radio Head’s Creep. They are doing Couples’ Choice.
Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon are dancing a Rumba. Their song is Stay by Shakespears Sister.
Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin will be returning to the ballroom with a Viennese Waltz. Their song is I See Red by Everybody Loves an Outlaw. La Voix and Aljaž Škorjanec are dancing to The 5th by Beethoven! Their dance is a Paso Doble.

Icons Week finished with Lewis and Katya at the top of the Strictly leaderboard. The pair ended the night with 34 points for their Quickstep.
Amber and Nikita, and Vicky and Kai, finished in joint second. Both couples scored 33 points. Alex and Johannes ended in third place with a score of 32 for their Foxtrot.
It was joint fifth for Harry and Karen, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Lauren Oakley. They both got 30 marks from the judges.
A whopping four couples finished in joint second from the bottom. They were Balvinder and Julian, Karen and Carlos, Ellie and Vito and La Voix and Aljaž. All four received 28 points each.
George Clarke and Alexis Warr were bottom of the leaderboard in Saturday night’s Icons Week show. The pair did a Jive and social media star George channelled Harry Styles. They got 27 marks from the judges.
Strictly Come Dancing: Who left?
Despite finishing the night in second place on the leaderboard, Amber and Nikita ended up in the dance-off following the public vote. The West End star and Nikita had performed an Ariana Grande-themed Cha0-cha-cha.
They were in the bottom two with Jimmy and Lauren. Both couples performed again but the judges voted unanimously to save Amber and Nikita, meaning Jimmy and Lauren have now left the BBC show.
Amber has since spoken out and admitted she “cried” when watching back her dance-off in the pre-recorded Strictly: The Results show.
Strictly Come Dancing continues this weekend. Halloween Week will air on Saturday November 1 on BBC One at 6.35pm.
