Strictly Come Dancing 2024 returned to our screens this evening with Halloween week!
Halloween week has become a fan fave every year, with the costume and makeup departments relishing the chance to show off their impressive skills!
And this year was no different! The celebrities and their partners threw themselves into the scary-themed dances and there were some amazing costumes on display.
But there was one costume in particular that left fans HOWLING! With laughter, that is!
Professional dancer Carlos Gu doesn't have a celeb partner this year, but that didn't stop him getting involved in the Halloween fun.
And he got all the fans talking when he showed up in the 'Clauditorium' dressed as Claudia herself!

Carlos donned Claudia's trademark black outfit - right down to her lacy tights - and a wig featuring her legendary fringe.
And the fans ADORED it, taking to social media to label it "beyond iconic"!
We couldn't agree more.

"Best costume ever," declared another thrilled fan.
Halloween week was a big hit with the viewers overall.

And top of the leaderboard were Sarah and Vito, and Jamie and Michelle.
Even the judges impressed with their villain-themed costumes!

AND Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood thrilled the fans when they arrived dressed as the scary twins from horror film The Shining!
