Strictly Come Dancing 2026 live: Halloween Week comes with a terrifying twist in the results show

John and Katya are up next – and they’re performing to a Slayyyter track!

After pulling off a pretty convincing Quickstep last week, John is doing a vampire-themed Tango to “Dance…”.

He and Katya look absolutely sensational (If I was Katya, I’d be asking to keep that outfit).

Tabby’s scores are in…

She’s received a 6, 7, 5(!) and a 7 – that’s a total of 25.

I know it’s a Quickstep but that was quick. Tabby’s stamina is phenomenal.

Here are the judges’ comments…

Motsi: “What I loved is that you have an extension [on your neck] that you can keep throughout the dance. But there were tiny mistakes that kept on popping in. I want you to feel more confident in your ballroom.”

Shirley: “It was certainly bright but I don’t agree with Motsi at all [on] the postural element. Because everything was so close at the top, the legs were too close. It wasn’t your best, for me.”

Anton: “I would have liked you to have more space to dance, you just got a bit too close. Your power is extraordinary. It’s very simple for you: give yourself some space to work in.”

Craig: “I do agree with Anton. There was a mistake and a bit of gapping. But you did a really tricky Charleston sort of section. It was after that moment, you didn’t pick up your frame again.”

I am so excited for this one.

After topping the leaderboard last week with her phenomenal Couple’s Choice, Tabby is performing a Quickstep to Little Mix’s “Black Magic”.

The audience are on their feet!

Here’s what the judges have said to Delta…

Anton: “It was incredible. I loved that dance. That was sensational. Your fleckle… it was sublime. There are two things I’ve got a problem with: You’ve got toes everywhere. Also, I preferred me and Craig on the spinning wheel.”

Craig: “I loved it. It was smooth, you maintained your frame and it was so detailed. Absolutely gorgeous.”

Motsi: “I agree with Craig, I loved the fluidity, I loved the way you move. The only thing I would love for you to work on is when you have a posture, keep your spine continually working and stretching.”

Shirley: “There is a lot you did that I like. There was an awful lot of toework there so it didn’t fly as flat as I would like.”

And Delta’s scores are… 8, 8, 8 and 9 – that’s a total of 33 and she’s straight to the top of the leaderboard!

HOW does Delta look so good in this Morticia wig?!

Comeback queen Delta is up next – performing one of tonight’s two Viennese Waltzes.

Hers will be to The Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody”.

I feel like Delta will make light work of this. She’s just phenomenal, isn’t she? And she’s coming into Halloween Week off the back of receiving a 10 last Saturday!

Graeme’s scores are in!

He’s received a 6, 7, 5 (ouch!) and a 7 – a total of 25.

Ok, that wasn’t as wild as I thought it would be!

An aside: How amazing do they look?!

Here are the judges’ comments…

Shirley: “You’re very brave to open the show with a zombie samba. For me, I would like no double stuttering on the feet and more flexibility.”

Anton: “I didn’t think that was a bad effort. It’s a tricky dance and I thought you did reasonably well for the most part.”

Craig: “I would have liked to have seen more fluidity in the bounce. The footwork was a little bit sticky at times. But every time we watch you, you come out here and you go for it.”

Motsi: “I loved the fact you are leading and you’re really trying to help your partner. Thank you for opening the show, it was fun to watch. Keep working.”

Opening the show, it’s Graeme – with a samba!

While he’s stronger on the ballroom styles, the Dogfather sure does throw himself in wholeheartedly for the Latin numbers, so this should be good…
