Strictly fans complain

The Halloween special of Strictly Come Dancing aired on October 26, showcasing lively performances from the remaining 11 couples. Sarah Hadland and Jamie Borthwick topped the leaderboard with scores of 38 for their Argentine tango and American smooth, respectively. However, fans expressed disappointment over the absence of the traditional ghost-shaped paddles used for scoring during Halloween week, prompting a flurry of complaints on social media. Judges Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood surprised viewers with their costumes as characters from The Shining, while professional dancer Carlos Gu wowed audiences by dressing as host Claudia Winkleman. Additionally, Ballas' portrayal of Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus drew mixed reactions, with viewers calling for her to abandon the character's voice. As the competition progresses, Dr. Punam Krishan is currently seen as a likely candidate for elimination this week.
