Strictly Come Dancing: Tony Adams gets Halloween special underway

Strictly Come Dancing returned to the screens for the Halloween Special on Saturday, when the sparkly 11 remaining celebrities took to the dance floor with their professional partners for the sixth week of this series.

The first to dance were Tony Adams and his partner Katya Jones with a Western-esque Quickstep – which turned out to be by far their best performance yet – with a score of 31 – after falling at the bottom of the leaderboard last week.

The judges were impressed with his performance, with Shirley saying, ‘Who would have thought you would put on such a performance. The footwork was wonderful, you shocked me!’

Anton added: ‘You are unrecognizable! You were stuck as if you were seen as the one who couldn’t dance, but you’re a good dancer, I loved it!”, before Craig added: “Welcome Tony to the ballroom! You had style and story.’

Motsi said: ‘What a surprise and what hard work wow!’. The pair got 31 in total.

Will Mellor and Nancy Xu were next with a Cha Cha Cha. The jury praised his dance with Anton, saying it was ‘much better than last week’.

Wow: The judges were impressed with his performance, and Shirley said, ‘Who would have thought you’d put on such a performance. The footwork was wonderful, you shocked me!’

Excited: Motsi said: ‘What a surprise and what a hard work wow!’. The pair received 31 in total and looked thrilled afterwards

Craig added: ‘I loved the hop action and body rolls, I loved the stylization, I think you did a fantastic job, the choreography was fantastic!’, while Shirley and Motsi were equally impressed with the ‘entertaining’ dance.

They scored an impressive 32, with all eight of the four judges.

The next to perform were Kym Marsh and her partner Graziano Di Prima, with the pair performing a rumba.

It comes after week five wildlife presenter Hamza Yassin and broadcaster Helen Skelton finished in first place on the standings together with their amazing routines to celebrate the BBC’s 100th anniversary.

Stars: The 20th series of Strictly is once again hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, with Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke as judges

Happy: Anton added: ‘You are unrecognizable! You were stuck as if you were seen as the one who couldn’t dance, but you’re a good dancer, I loved it!”, before Craig added: “Welcome Tony to the ballroom! You had style and story’

But it was the end of the road for comedian Jayde Adams, who became the fourth star to be eliminated after taking on Molly Rainford in the dance-off.

After both couples performed again, the judges voted to save Molly and her professional partner Carlos Gu, meaning Jayde and Karen were sent home.

After last week’s public vote, the pressure is on and on to get their steps right as phone lines reopen after the show for fans to vote for their favorite routines.

Well done: Will Mellor and Nancy Xu were next with a Cha Cha Cha. The jury praised his dance with Anton, saying it was ‘much better than last week’

Well done! They scored an impressive 32, with all eight of the four judges, with Craig saying ‘I loved the hop action and body rolls’

This week, the remaining couples take to the dance floor with spooktacular Halloween-inspired performances, in a bid to survive the next public vote after last week’s episode celebrated the BBC’s 100th anniversary, with special dances honoring some of the broadcaster’s popular shows. .

The 20th series of Strictly is once again presented by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, with Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke as judges.

Additionally, the Strictly spin-off It Takes Two is back on screen during the week to make sure you get your strict fix, hosted by Rylan Clark and former professional dancer Janette Manrara.
