Tess Daly has been out testing her Halloween strength ahead of Strictly Come Dancing's special episode. On Saturday night (October 29) the remaining 11 couples will take to the ballroom with their spooktacular routines for the annual themed week.
Following their stint in the dance-off last week, Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu will be hoping to be back on top form with their Argentine Tango to Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) by Kate Bush, which had a resurgence earlier this year thanks to its use in Netflix's Stranger Things.
Will Mellor and Nancy Xu, meanwhile, will be dressed as mummies for their Cha Cha Cha to Mama Told Me Not To Come by Tom Jones and Stereophonics and Kym Marsh will be attempting to channel a wicked witch as she and Graziano Di Prima dance a Rumba to Frozen by Madonna.
The Halloween-themed week on the BBC One dance show often goes down a storm with viewers as the show fully embraces the spookiest time of the year. But prior to heading into the ballroom for week six of the competition, Tess took some time out and headed with her daughters to Thorpe Park.
On Friday evening, the presenter posted a smiling selfie on Instagram outside the gates of the theme park. Posing in a black top with exaggerated shoulders and matching dark sunglasses, Tess wrote: "Double checked to see if I'm still scared of rollercoasters at 53..." She then added: "And I definitely am," alongside a crying laughing emoji.
She then shared a follow-up post of one of the park's rollercoasters set under a blue sky and said: "So much fun at fright night with the kids @thropeparkofficial."
Tess didn't share a photo of her and her daughters enjoying the event at Thorpe Park but she wowed fans earlier this month when she celebrated her eldest daughter's 18th birthday by posting a batch of rare photos. Tess shared pictures of birthday girl Phoebe as she marked her special day.
The TV star, who has two daughters with husband Vernon Kay, asked: "Where did the time go? Our little Phoebe is 18 today! wishing you the happiest birthday!" One recent photo showed Phoebe holding their adorable puppy and another showed her beaming on holiday in a red outfit.
A sweet throwback picture showed her being cradled by Tess and Vernon as a newborn and another showed a younger Phoebe in a pink dress with her proud mum and dad. Tess added: "We are so proud of you and can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with you. Love you to the moon & back."
While the birthday wishes came flooding in, fans also told Tess how much she and Phoebe look alike. @charlotte.king.9066 said: "Wow so like you @tessdaly happy birthday Phoebe." @judithann.maxwell commented: "My goodness the expression ‘two peas in a pod’ comes to mind! Happy Birthday."
