Strictly Come Dancing’s yearly Halloween themed week is always a mixture of endless puns and sketchy looking costumes. One contestant, however, managed to get the balance of both cheesiness and brilliant choreography just right.

Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote and dancing partner Giovanni Pernice pulled off a fantastic tango to the Ghostbusters theme song, written by Ray Parker Junior.

The pair came up top with a score of 35, beating bookies favourites Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani by just one point. Watch below.

Judge Len Goodman called Georgia the “queen of Halloween” while Bruno Tonioli said: ”Tango-busters done and dusted, footwork great, lots of gusto and maintained speed without slackening”.

Elsewhere Carol Kirkwood and Pasha Kovalev’s rumba to “I Think I Love You” by The Partridge Family scored the night’s lowest score, judges awarding the pair only 13 points - the lowest ever score for a Halloween themed dance.

While most judges weren't too harsh, Bruno said: “Miss Frankenstein, your rumba is grounds for divorce, unrecognisable and displaying an indifference to dance.”

The Italian also had harsh words for Kirsty Gallagher, saying of her Charleston: "You made mincemeat out of that, what a mess, it went wrong but you saved it by the skin of your teeth”.

Watch the results 1 November on BBC One at 7.15pm.
