Hello and welcome to MailOnline’s live coverage of the Strictly Come Dancing live show on Halloween week.

Tonight promises to be spook-tacular as 11 celebrities take to the ballroom all hoping to avoid the dreaded dance off.

Last week, the undoubted stars of the show were Jamie Borthwick and Montell Douglas who each scored a near faultless 39 points.

While JB Gill was saved by the judges as Paul Merson was sent packing when the faced off on Sunday.

So who will come out on top on Fright Night and who will suffer a Halloween nightmare.

We’re just minutes away from Week 6’s live show kicking off on BBC One.

Our reporter Olivia Christie will guide you through the performances as the 11 remaining celebrities take to the dance floor.

Let us know your reaction to tonight’s show by joining in the conversation in our comments section.

Tonight’s show will be the most varied of the series so far with TEN different dances on display.

There will be just one overlap with Chris McCausland and Tasha Ghouri both performing Sambas.

And perhaps most exciting of all Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola will treat viewers to Strictly’s first Argentine tango of 2024.

JB Gill has revealed his gruelling workout regime on Strictly Come Dancing is benefiting his love life with wife Chloe.

The JLS singer, 37, has been tearing up the dancefloor with his professional dance partner Amy Dowden on this year’s series.

The hitmaker told how his partner, who he married in 2014 after six years of dating, has been loving the changes to his body the show has brought.

Love Island star Tasha, 26, cut a stylish yet semi-casual figure as she sported a baby pink tracksuit consisting of a cropped hoody and slim-fit jogging bottoms.

She teamed the matching tracksuit with a chic white fur coat and sported a pair of brown platform Ugg boots.

The star beamed as she departed from the hotel with a silver suitcase and her belongings in her arms.

According to the one bookmaker, Dr Punam Krishan and her dance partner Gorka Marquez are favourites to be eliminated this week with odds suggesting they are most likely to take part in the dance-off.

Betway spokesperson Chad Yeomans told the Express:

This Halloween-themed weekend, Dr. Punam Krishan could be in for a real fright as she is the 2/1 favourite to waltz off the show for good. The Glasgow-born GP is set to perform a spine-chilling Tango to ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics, but she’ll need a good week in rehearsals to avoid a nightmare on the dance floor.

Ex-Olympian Sam Quek is also creeping into the danger zone, as she is the 3/1 second favourite to exit this Sunday. Meanwhile, Pete Wicks and Shayne Ward are both on thin ice and find themselves next in the betting to be taking their final bow on the show.

Can’t wait for tonight’s action?
