Strictly Come Dancing Judges' Halloween Costumes

During the latest episode of Strictly Come Dancing, fans expressed outrage over the elimination of Dr. Punam Krishan, who faced off against Shayne Ward in a tense dance-off, with judges ultimately favoring Ward. Head judge Shirley Ballas admitted she would have chosen Ward as well, prompting a wave of discontent on social media where viewers felt Punam was 'robbed' of her chance to continue. Meanwhile, the Halloween special featured judges in humorous costumes, with Craig Revel-Horwood and Anton Du Beke dressing as the creepy twins from The Shining, which delighted fans and became a highlight of the show. Ballas' transformation into Hocus Pocus character Winifred Sanderson received mixed reactions, as viewers pleaded for her to drop the character voice during judging. Additionally, professional dancer Carlos Gu's costume as host Claudia Winkleman was praised as 'genius' by fans. The episode's theme added a festive touch as contestants showcased their spooky performances following the recent elimination of Paul Merson.
