‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2025 surprised us last week when they sent Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink home even though Stefan Dennis had dropped out of the series due to injury earlier in the week.
Jimmy found himself in the bottom two with his partner Lauren Oakley against Amber Davies and her partner Nikita Kuzmin. After both pairs danced again, and we picked our jaws up from the floor that Amber and Nikita were in the bottom two, it was Jimmy and Lauren who went home.
Another big shock last week was the announcement that Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are both leaving ‘Strictly' after the Christmas special this year. We can honestly we say we didn't see that coming!
For the sixth week of the competition it's the annual Halloween Special. That means that the production budget is stretched further, there'll be lots of fantastic costumes and the ante will be well-and-truly upped. With 10 couples left in the competition, its going to be a fiendishly good weekend!
The dances and songs for the Halloween Special are:
- Alex and Johannes – Salsa to “Horny” by Mousse T. and Hot ‘n' Juicy
- Amber and Nikita – Viennese Waltz to “I See Red” by Everybody Loves An Outlaw
- Balvinder and Julian – Rumba to “Stay” by Shakespears Sister
- Ellie and Vito – Tango to “Abracadabra” by Lady Gaga
- George and Alexis – Cha Cha to “Apple” by Charlie XCX
- Harry and Karen – American Smooth to “Mystical Magical” by Benson Boone
- Karen and Carlos – Argentine Tango to “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
- La Voix and Aljaž – Paso Doble to “The 5th” by Beethoven
- Lewis and Katya – Couple's Choice to “Creep” by Radiohead
- Vicky and Kai – American Smooth to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler
‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2025 continues Saturday on BBC One and iPlayer at 6.35pm.
