Strictly Halloween Week Begins With Ten Couples and Cat Burns Booked for Results Show

Presenter departures alongside an online-only vote define a midseason weekend for the BBC ballroom.

Overview

  • The live Halloween special airs tonight with 10 couples as the series reaches its midpoint ahead of a 20 December final.
  • Producers released the Week Six slate, including Lewis and Katya’s Couple’s Choice to Radiohead’s Creep and Ellie and Vito’s Tango to Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra.
  • Cat Burns is scheduled to perform Go on Sunday’s results show alongside professionals Amy Dowden and Carlos Gu.
  • Professional dancer Karen Hauer has challenged the judges’ feedback after last week’s Argentine tango drew a split panel response.
  • Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will leave at the end of the series with replacement speculation ongoing, and voting now runs online or via on‑screen QR code rather than by phone.
