20.07 A ten from Alesha, 37 overall, best score of the series!
20.05 ‘Bewitchingly brilliant’ says Brrrruuuuno!
20.04 Amazing! What a fab finish – this deserves tens!
20.02 Wow, look at them go!
20.01 Who brought Ann Widdecombe into this?!
20.00 Jason’s costume isn’t as scary as the others…but this quickstep could be brilliant.
19.59 29 – a good score for Lulu. Jason is next – have they saved the best till last?
19.58 Craig thought the concept was great and Len found it entertaining…
19.53 Lulu’s making a flying entrance – awesome! And Brendan is loving the wind machine…
19.52 Only one point less than last week – Anita’s pleased. Here come Lulu and Brendan with a feisty, flying paso…
19.50 Len much preferred it to Harry’s tango…
19.47 Anita’s certainly mastered her Halloween face!
19.45 Anita was overwhelmed by her score last week, here’s hoping she does just as well tonight!
19.44 26 overall – I think it deserved a couple more marks… Time for Anita!
19.41 And Robbie ends up on the judges’ desk – what a finish! Craig said he could have done without it!
19.40 Lacking a bit of aggression but it’s a great effort…
19.38 Can’t wait to see this paso – give us some cape action, Robbie!
19.37 Robbie and Ola! Can they match last week’s amazing performance?
19.36 Another 10 from Alesha but 34 overall…
19.34 Len wanted more content – I agree!
19.33 Harry’s certainly a hit with Brrrrruuuuno and Craig liked it too!
19.31 Not sure about the choreography but Harry’s dancing it well. Shame he didn’t get to do this with Flavia…
19.30 Nice thrones and masquerade ball theme…
19.29 This is going to be an intense tango…
19.28 Wow, an uncharacteristic 3 from Alesha. 14 in total – will they survive this week? Harry time – they’ve gone mad with the eyeliner!
19.26 Len calls it more Meals on Wheels than Mills and Boon!
19.25 Nancy’s turning on Anton!
19.24 Alesha calls it a walking disaster and says they both should have stayed in the coffin! Miaow…
19.22 A blonde Anton is very disconcerting! Nancy’s emerging from a coffin and Anton’s a zombie. Not a lot of dance content so far though…
19.19 35 for Holly! Nancy time…
19.17 The judges loved it – Brrrrruuuno calls it exquisite.
19.15 Very balletic and dramatic with a great lift but it doesn’t look like any American Smooth I’ve seen before. Odd.
19.13 Looking forward to this Amercan Smooth…
19.11 A total of 31! Here come Holly and Artem, time for some Black Swan drama…
19.09 Craig really liked it, Len thought it was terrific and Alesha tells Alex she had a breakthrough!
19.07 Loving the storytelling here but this isn’t Alex’s best technical dance – a bit awkward in places…
19.04 Hooray for the first paso of the night!
19.03 A 3 from Craig – harsh! 20 overall. Time for Alex and James – James looks terrifying!
19.00 Craig calls it a ‘gallant effort’ and likes his smile and Len liked it. Not bad!
18.59 They’re dancing to Little Shop of Horrors. Audley’s a bit heavy on his feet…
18.57 Audley’s got the jive – eek!
18.55 32 for Chelsee but she’s still upset about her dress. Time for Audley and Natalie…
18.52 Poor Chelsee’s in tears because of a wardrobe malfunction. The judges are trying to make her feel better though – they love this partnership.
18.49 Ooh Pasha’s a mad scientist and Chelsee’s in a cauldron!
18.48 Pasha is so much fun – please BBC, keep him on next year!
18.47 Here come Chelsee and Pasha – can they top their quickstep with this tango?
18.46 Loving the pumpkin paddels! It’s a total of 22 and Russell’s pleased with the score…
18.45 Mixed reviews from the judges, but the audience thought it was fab!
18.43 Even Dave Arch is getting into the spirit of things…
18.42 Russell’s absolutely loving this – born to samba and wear head to toe red!
18.40 Ooh Russell’s training room is haunted. A great excuse for a Ghostbusters costume…
18.39 Russell’s up first! Remember he told us ‘I am the samba’ – this should be fantastic, especially throwing a Kylie song into the mix…
18.37 Craig’s disappeared – he’s on a broomstick! He’s in panto mode…
18.36 Here come the dancers! Russell’s a little devil, Holly’s doing Black Swan, Ola’s working the eyelashes, James is a vampire and what on earth has happened to Anton?!
18.34 The sound effects team are working overtime…
18.33 Not sure about the top of that dress, Tess…
18.32 Jason’s bald! He’s loving this…
18.31 Ooh loving the mist and the props – this is going to be an epic production! Even the judges are getting involved…
18.28 Here we go!
18.25 5 minutes to go! Prepare to be scared…
Loving all the costumes this eve!
hmm, not sure I liked Holly’s dance as much as the judges did!
loving Harry’s dance!!
