BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans complain minutes into Halloween week amid song and outfit choice fury

Halloween week is traditionally an opportunity for celebrities to put on even more outrageous costumes and perform to specially selected hit that fit the brief. But some fans weren't happy with the choices made on Saturday night's episode of the BBC One show,

Some Strictly Come Dancing fans took to social media to begin voicing their complaints just moments into the Halloween show this weekend.

As the remaining stars lined up to perform their Halloween themed tracks for the sixth week of the competition, former England captain Tony Adams was first to perform - and just moments into the programme beginning, frustrated viewers took to social media to fume over the show, the Mirror reports.

Some viewers said Halloween was "ruined" for them, whilst others admitted they were disappointed. They made their feelings clear as they responded to Tony and Katya's dance, as they opened the show.

Angry fans took to Twitter to fume over the song choices - with some saying they weren't very Halloween-themed.

And the focus of fans' anger was also focussed upon the fact that the two hosts Tess and Claudia didn't get into the theme with their outfits, Chronicle Live reports. While the judges, who all looked very much the part with their spooky makeovers, including Craig Revel-Horwood and Shirley Ballas, who were transformed into Mortitia and Gomez Addams respectively. However, while both wore dark outfits, Tess and Claudia weren't in any form of Halloween costume.

Ellie and Johannes danced their Couple's Choice routine to I Put A Spell On You by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker & Kathy Najimy whilst Helen and Gorka did the Foxtrot to Lil' Red Riding Hood by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs. Hamza and Jowita danced a Tango to Wicked Game by Chris Isaak whilst Will and Nancy danced to Mama Told Me Not To Come by Tom Jones and Stereophonics.

Views had their say on Twitter. "What an odd song choice #Strictly #strictly2022 #StrictlyComeDancing," one wrote, as another penned: "This song isn’t spooky! I demand my licence fee back! #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing."

A third wrote: "If you’re gonna do a theme, at least have songs relating to the theme! #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing."

"They're scraping the barrel for Hallowe'en-related songs," a fourth added.

After the routines, the judges will give their score out of 40, with a maximum of 10 points each, before the public will be allowed to vote for their favourites. The celebrities will then find out in tomorrow's show - which is filmed later on a Saturday evening - their fate as they bid to make it through to the next week.
