As well as being the scariest night of the year, Strictly Come Dancing fans were spooked on Halloween Week when Fleur East landed in the dance-off again. Viewers couldn't believe their eyes when the singer and Hits Radio presenter was picked out by the show's 'red light of doom' after performing an energetic salsa to Beyonce's Break My Soul.
Judges voted to save Fleur and her professional dance partner Vito Coppola in Sunday's results show following a dance-off with EastEnders actor James Bye and Amy Dowden. But fans were sad to see Fleur in that position for the second time this series, and on her birthday after dancing to a song by her musical idol.
But as Fleur appeared with Vito on spin-off show It Takes Two with Rylan Clark, she looked on top form. "It was the peak of my life, Halloween week dancing to Beyonce, on my birthday," she beamed.

Rylan then revealed to his viewers the song that Fleur, 35, and Vito, 30, will be dancing to in week seven. The pair will be performing the waltz to the 1983 doo-wop hit I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues by Elton John.
"Walzy, waltzy here we go!" joked Rylan, as Fleur cracked up laughing. And as Rylan turned to Vito to ask how she's getting on with it, her dance partner praised: "She's flowing quite well. We've just started but I'm satisfied."
He added: "I like to push her and she's giving me more and more." And Fleur, who previously ended up in the dance-off a month ago with Radio 2 presenter Richie Anderson and Giovanni Pernice, told Rylan how she's preparing.
"We always take feedback from the judges and implement them into rehearsals and work on that," she said. However fans are worried about the song choice and fear that Fleur, who presents the breakfast show on the Manchester-based station, could be back in the dance-off.
As the BBC dance contest revealed the song and dance choices for this weekend on its official Twitter, @DeafinitelyMars tweeted: "@bbcstrictly. That’s Fleur in the DO again, what an odd song choice."
@EoghanO77778368 fumed: "I HOPE FLEUR IS NOT IN THE DANCE OFF AGAIN." And @Charlie1102555 complained that they had "a boring dance."
But @RyanGSoapKing11 said: "Great to see Fleur back on Ballroom again with the Waltz this will be her week." @TVMusings22 cheered: "Good luck to team #Fleurito." And over on Instagram lynoeghan said: "Beautiful song, I bet it will be a lovely dance! Can’t wait! Go Fleur and Vito!!!"
