The annual Strictly Come Dancing Halloween night is almost here, and the BBC have announced which songs the couples will be performing to.

Each year, the celebrity contestants and their dance partners dress up for horror-themed routines – and week six of the 2019 series looks set to be no different.

Below is a full list of this week’s songs and dances:

Alex Scott and Neil Jones – Street/Commercial, ‘”Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jr

Catherine Tyldesley and Johannes Radebe – Cha Cha, “Scared Of The Dark” by Steps

Emma Barton and Anton du Beke – Tango, “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor” by Bach

Emma Weymouth and Aljaz Skorjanec – Charleston, “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” by Fergie feat. Q-Tip and GoonRock​

Michelle Visage and Giovanni Pernice – Foxtrot, “Addams Family” by Vic Mizzy

Saffron Barker and AJ Pritchard – Jive, “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” by The Police

Chris Ramsey and Karen Hauer – Samba, “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” by Backstreet Boys

Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowden – Paso Doble, “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat

Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse – Tango, “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish

Mike Bushell and Katya Jones – Tango, “What You Waiting For” by Gwen Stefani

Will Bayley and Janette Manrara – Jive, “Casper” by Little Richard

Footballer David James was the most recent celebrity to be eliminated from the competition, after a dance-off with sports presenter Mike Bushell.

“Through the whole show and the experience, the one thing that has been really challenging is the fact that I was supposed to enjoy it,” he told Rylan Clarke-Neal on It Takes Two.

“And when I enjoy it, I make mistakes. And when I make mistakes, I get punished in the scoring.”

Strictly Come Dancing continues this Saturday at 6.35pm on BBC One.
