BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans aren't happy after latest show update

Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts have voiced their dissatisfaction following the unveiling of the song selections for the Halloween week, prior to Saturday night's live broadcast.

The BBC show's yearly Halloween special is set to air on Saturday, 26 October, featuring the celebrities delivering eerie performances on the dance floor. The Halloween week has always been a standout event in Strictly's calendar, with some of the most memorable performances originating from this themed evening.

It has been revealed that Montell and Johannes will be performing the Cha Cha to Love Potion No. 9 by The Clovers, while Punam and Gorka are set to Tango to Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics.

Sam and Nikita will be showcasing a Jive to Time Warp by The Rocky Horror Picture Cast, and Sarah and Vito will be executing an Argentine Tango to Ready or Not by Fugees.

In addition, Tasha and Aljaz are slated to perform a Samba to I Like To Move It Move It by Reel 2 Real, while Chris and Dianne will be dancing a Samba to Stayin' Alive by The Bee Gees. Jamie and Michelle will be presenting an American Smooth to The Addams Family Theme by Vic Mizzy, and JB and Amy will be dancing a Foxtrot to Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader, reports Birmingham Live.

Pete and Jowita are scheduled to perform a Viennese Waltz to That's Life by Frank Sinatra, Shayne and Nancy will be dancing a Paso Doble to In The Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg, and Wynne and Katya will be performing a Salsa to Canned Heat by Jamiroquai.

While the anticipation for dazzling performances remains high, some Strictly enthusiasts expressed disappointment with this year's song selections for the dancing duos. The repetition of certain songs and themes over the years has led to a chorus of complaints.

On Reddit, fans voiced their dissatisfaction, particularly with the recurring use of The Addams Family theme tune and Time Warp. One user remarked: "I'm obsessed with the idea of a Paso to Hall of the Mountain King! Not exactly traditional, but I love classical music so it makes up for it. Not so enthusiastic about yet another smooth to the Addams Family or Jive to Time Warp. Seriously, again?"

Another commented: "Jamie and Michelle doing Addams Family, already drawing comparisons to Michelle and Gio's dance to the same song," while an additional fan noted: "At this time I feel like I've danced to the Addams Family theme on Strictly. It's a great tune, but yeeeesh."
