Strictly fans go wild over judges' Halloween looks as Craig Revel Horwood 'unrecognisable'

Strictly Come Dancing fans went wild as the judges dressed up for Halloween - with one of them almost unrecognisable.

Fans of the BBC One Latin and ballroom show rushed to social media to heap praise on the four judges as they wowed in their impressive spooky outfits to mark the occasion. Some fans branded Craig Revel Horwood unrecognisable as he dressed as Morticia Adams whilst Shirley Ballas kept with the Addams Family theme, dressed as Gomez.

Elsewhere, Motsi Mabuse looked super glamourous with her jewelled face whilst Anton du Beke dressed as a pirate, with fans hailing the incredible outfits as the best part of the show as they remarked how "amazing" it was.

A third shared: "Craig and Shirley look amazing!! #strictly," with a fourth writing: "Great costumes & make up-judges look good too! #Strictly." A fifth penned: "The judges look brilliant!! Didn’t recognise Craig there for a minute!! #strictly."

"LIVING for Craig’s Halloween costume on tonight’s #Strictly," another wrote, whilst a viewer penned: "Omg Craig’s Morticia is EVERYTHING! #Strictly." One shared: " #Strictly Craig/Motsi won the Best dressed Judges for Halloween category."

"Craig as Morticia is already tonight's winner. #Strictly #SCD," an excited fan wrote online.

The judges always make a valiant effort during Halloween week, as the celebrities limbered up for their routines, which included Ellie and Nikita's Foxtrot to Scooby Doo, Where Are You? and Ellie and Johannes' Couple's Choice routines to I Put A Spell On You by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker & Kathy Najimy. Fleur and Vito will dance the Salsa to Break My Soul.

Molly and Carlos will do an Argentine Tango to Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), whilst series frontrunner Hamza and Jowita will dance a Tango to Wicked Game. James and Amy did a Charleston to Bumble Bee.

Tony and Katya opened the show with a Quickstep to The Devil Went Down To Georgia whilst Tyler and Dianne did a Cha Cha Cha to Day-O (The Banana Boat Song). Will and Nancy's Cha Cha Cha was mummy themed and to Mama Told Me Not To Come.
