Strictly fans have same complaint about Tess and Claudia on Halloween special as the judges spooky looks get thumbs up

Strictly Come Dancing's Fluer East is struggling to contain her emotions while on the show - especially towards Craig Revel Horwood - according to a body language expert. Darren Stanton has said that, despite her exploding onto the dancefloor, she finds it difficult to find an equilibrium at times.

STRICTLY star Shirley Ballas has shared a cryptic post amid speculation that she should be replaced as a judge. Last month the 62-year-old was blasted by fans who claimed that she is sexist. Many viewers think that Shirley has been showing preference to the male celebrity dancers over the women taking part on this year's series of the  BBC1 show.

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans are fearing a fan favourite could be in trouble after landing one of the most difficult dance routines the series shows.  As the remaining 10 couples are heading into week seven of the competition, and after the shock elimination of EastEnders’ James Bye and Amy Dowden last week, it’s clear no one is safe.  Ellie Taylor and Johannes Radebe topped the leaderboard during the Halloween special, doing a Couples’ Choice routine inspired by Hocus Pocus to I Put A Spell On You.  However, fans are fearing that this may be a high coming before a fall, as they’ve now been landed with the difficult rumba.  The Cuban dance, which is characterised by slow and determined hip movements, passionate storytelling and requires immaculate posture.  Strictly rumbas have proven to either make or break partners during their stint on the show – and it hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans.  “Absolutely thrilled for Ellie and Jojo, although I sadly sense the glittery trap door next week with that rumba,” wrote one, before adding, “more than happy to be proved wrong.”  “Ellie and johannes rumba who else is scared?” said another.  While another took a quote from Whoopi Goldberg and said: “ellie t, you in danger girl”  Strictly is going back to basics this week after two back-to-back themed episodes.

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have a big decision to make - as real-life pro couple Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova swerve the official tour for their own show.  Both theatre tours hit the road next year, with Kai and Nadiya making the most of their fairytale romance with an 11-date titled Once Upon A Time from late March until the beginning of May.  However, this is a direct clash with rehearsals and initial performances of the official Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals tour, which starts at Hull Bonus arena on May 2nd.  It will continue to cover the whole of the UK, including a three-day stint at the London Palladium, before finishing at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on May 30th.  As a result, they won’t be able to make it, proving a knock for both fans and the show itself, seeing as they are two of Strictly’s most prominent professional dancers.  Dianne Buswell, Vito Coppola, Carlos Gu, Karen Hauer, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Jowita Przystal and Nancy Xu have all been confirmed to perform in the upcoming 31-date official show.  Nadiya and Kai went public with their romance earlier this year, following Nadiya’s split from footballer fianceé ​Matija Škarabot ​in 2021.  When taking part in the Strictly tour last year, Kai was first spotted comforting her. After initially keeping their relationship a secret, they are now regular faces on red carpets including the Black Adam premiere in September, and frequently jet off on romantic holidays together.

STRICTLY Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has come under more fire after speculation she should be replaced. The former world championship dancer has been on the show since 2017 in the head judge's spot, taking over from long-standing leading man Len Goodman. However, amid rumours there are rows simmering among the judges, and accusations of favouritism from Shirley towards the male celebrity competitors, some are now calling for her to be replaced.
