Halloween Week on Strictly Come Dancing
Halloween Week on Strictly Come Dancing brought a spook-tacular twist to the ballroom as contestants and their professional dance partners transformed into terrifying ghosts, ghouls, and devils. The week was filled with high-energy performances, dramatic moments, and some impressive scores that left the audience in awe.
One of the standout performances came from Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope, who took the top spot on the leaderboard after achieving the first perfect score of the series. His Couple’s Choice dance to “Creep” by Radiohead was so remarkable that Anton Du Beke declared it as good as any dance ever performed on the show. The judges were equally impressed, with the performance being hailed as one of the most memorable in the show’s history.
Another notable moment was when former England footballer Karen Carney earned her first 10 for her Peaky Blinders-themed Argentine Tango to “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. Her performance secured a total score of 38, showcasing her growth and versatility as a dancer.
La Voix also delivered a strong performance, scoring 35 points for their Paso Doble to Beethoven’s 5th. The routine received an eight from Craig Revel Horwood and nines from the other three judges, highlighting the team's consistent quality throughout the season.
On the flip side, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, known for his role as Nitro on Gladiators, struggled with his American Smooth to “Mystical Magical” by Benson Boone, earning just 26 points. However, Love Island star Amber Davies bounced back from a previous dance-off in week five, scoring 35 points for her Viennese Waltz to “I See Red” by Everybody Loves An Outlaw.
The week also saw the elimination of former footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who was voted off the show after a tense dance-off against West End star Davies and her partner Nikita Kuzmin. This marked a significant moment in the competition, as it highlighted the intense pressure and high stakes of the show.
