It's one of the much-anticipated themes on Strictly Come Dancing every year but it appears the Halloween special may not have hit all the right notes this year. Week six of the BBC One dance contest saw the remaining 11 couples attempt to put their spookiest foot forward and impress the judges with their performances.
And it was comedian Ellie Taylor who impressed the most with her Hocus Pocus-inspired routine. The Ted Lasso actress, 38, and her professional partner Johannes Radebe closed Halloween week on the hit show scoring 35 for their couple’s choice dance to I Put A Spell On You by Bette Midler.
The routine, which involved a smoking cauldron, received a standing ovation and rapturous applause from the audience – and put them top of the leaderboard alongside Kiss FM DJ Tyler West and partner Dianne Buswell for their Beetlejuice-inspired cha cha cha.
