The ballroom’s annual spooktacular also sees Molly Rainford dancing to Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill
There’s no respite from the Strictly dressing-up box, but let’s at least hope that this week’s Halloween special is bloodcurdling in all the right ways – unlike the sheer horror that was the BBC 100 celebration.
Helen Skelton is looking to maintain her momentum after topping the leaderboard for the first time, dancing a Red Riding Hood foxtrot – as she explains in her Strictly diary. Meanwhile dance-off survivor Molly Rainford is hoping for redemption with an Argentine tango to Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill, which, of course, has found a whole new audience via Stranger Things.
The spookfest also features Tony Adams as a quickstepping devil (read all about that in this wonderful interview with the unlikely dance star), Ellie Taylor channelling Bette Midler from Hocus Pocus with I Put A Spell On You, Will Mellor doing a cha cha cha dressed as a mummy, and Ellie Simmonds paying tribute to Scooby-Doo, via a foxtrot.
