Distinctly unimpressed Strictly Come Dancing viewers have identified a big problem with Saturday's Halloween Week show, before it's even started.
Halloween Week is one of the most hyped up weeks in the Strictly calendar and is known for throwing up some memorable costumes, fantastic special effects and some rather startling song choices. And, as they still struggle to get over the shock of last week's bottom two and Jayde Adam's exit, some fans have taken exception to a few of the tracks the remaining couples will bedancing to this week, with the major issue that they are 'not Halloween' in the slightest.
The songs and dances for Saturday's sixth live show of the new series were unveiled on Strictly's social media accounts a few days ago and it didn't take long for Twitter users to make their feelings known. While there were positive reactions to song choices for Ellie Taylor, Hamza Yasim and Ellie Simmonds, who are dancing to I Put A Spell On You, Wicked Game and Scooby Doo respectively, eyebrows have been raised at some of the others.

Fleur East is set to do a cha cha cha to Beyonce's summer smash Break My Soul, but some viewers have questioned how that fits the theme, will one responding: "I dunno what to make of this…since when was any of Beyoncé songs made for Halloween? Definitely not break my soul," with another sarcastically quipping: "Ah yes break my soul by Beyoncé - that famous Halloween bop."
Homing in on Will Mellor' s track - Stereophonics & Tom Jones' duet Mama Told Me Not To Come, another critic reacted: "Some of these song choices are very odd for Halloween week." Will himself admitted he was aware their track wasn't 'very Halloween' when he appeared as a guest on Thursday's This Morning.
He said: "What we're dancing to - it's not really a Halloween song, but it's Mama Told Me Not To Come by Tom Jones. It's a great song. It's a great routine; she (Nancy Xu) is a genius. It's a bit of fun; it's a family show. We come out of our coffins and we dance and come alive for a minute and 40 seconds."
One dance many people seem excited about is Molly Rainford and Carlos Xu doing an Argentine Tango to Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill, with fans hoping for a Stranger Things themed routine, after Netflix smash Stranger Things helped the song climb to number 1 earlier this year.
