It's Halloween Week on Strictly Come Dancing! And that means plenty of frightful routines full of vampires, zombies, and supervillains. Yes, it's a favorite of the Strictly audience and it's always a delight to see the commitment of the costume department to bring the spooky show to life.

The only thing that wasn't frightful, however, was the quality of dancing. This was undoubtedly one of the highest-quality Halloween weeks in Strictly Come Dancing history, as we opened with some strong routines and kept that energy up right until the end. In fact, the lowest score was 26, meaning that there were just 12 points between those couples and the ones at the top with 38. Quality!

But who shone tonight in the Strictly Spooktacular? Here are all the Strictly spoilers, results, and scores from the Week 6 Saturday Night show and all of the events that took place on the dancefloor.

Strictly spoilers and results: Week 6 Leaderboard

What a night of dancing that was! Jamie and Michelle continued their streak of success with their third high-scoring dance in a row, as their Addams Family-themed American Smooth saw them foxtrot their way to the top of the Leaderboard. But they weren't there alone, as Sarah and Vito had the moment we had all been waiting for them to have, producing a stunning Argentine Tango - the first of the series - that saw two of the judges call it the best dance of the night.

The quality continued, as Sam and Nikita delivered a campy and unforgettable Rock Horror-themed Jive to close the show, while Pete and Jowita had their best dance yet with a Joker-inspired Viennese Waltz. Wynne and Katya also delivered a devilishly good Salsa while Punam and Gorka showed real promise with a tense Pirate-themed Tango.

Here are the results from the Strictly Week 6 Saturday night Halloween show, the scores that each dance got, and the Leaderboard we were left with:

  • Sarah and Vito danced the Argentine Tango - 38

  • Tasha and Aljaž danced the Samba - 37

Who is in danger on Strictly Come Dancing Week 6?

Looking at this week's Strictly Come Dancing Leaderboard, you might notice one thing: There are a lot of ties on there. And if you have read our analysis before, you'll know that this means that the public vote carries even more weight than it usually does - and, perhaps more importantly, the judges scores carry a little bit less.

As there are eleven couples in the competition, there are supposed to be 10 points separating the couple at the top and the couple at the bottom (with the top contestants holding 11 points and the bottom holding 1). But ties shorten the gap between those couples, and with more ties than usual - including a four-way tie in the middle - the gap is even smaller this week, with just 5 points separating both ends of the Leaderboard.

That makes it far easier for the likes of Punam and Gorka, and Chris and Dianne to escape from the Dance-Off even though they are the bottom of the Leaderboard. Both of those couples have already proven popular with the public as it is, so the 6 points that they have (instead of the 1 or 2 they would have had without ties) gives them an even bigger chance of escaping.

It also means that those in the middle (and those near the top) are in a lot more jeopardy than usual. The four couples tied at 31 are in most danger, with one of them almost guaranteed to fall into the Dance-Off. At the end of the day, the public vote will be the tie breaker, and that's going to favor some couples more than others.

Taking all of that into account, we're predicting a Dance-Off between two of JB and Amy, Wynne and Katya, and Shayne and Nancy.
