Strictly Come Dancing's judges got into the Halloween spirit tonight.

Anton du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas all donned very spooky costumes to mark the annual Spooktacular for the Latin and ballroom show. Tonight, Craig impressed as Harry Potter star Severus Snape whilst Motsi wowed in a spider themed outfit, complete with a giant cobweb behind her head. Anton dressed as a mad scientist and head judge Shirley Ballas wowed as the evil queen from Snow White for the spooky-themed show.

Fans rushed to social media to comment on their outfits, as one wrote: "Think a shoutout to the costume department is called for! The judges look fab! #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing." A second added: "THE JUDGES' HALLOWEEN COSTUMES WOW #Strictly," with a third sharing: "ok the judges look absolutely INCREDIBLE, serving on those Halloween looks! #Strictly."

The judges always go all out for Halloween and last year, they transformed into the Addams family. Last year, Shirley dressed as Gomez Addams, complete with a fake hand on her shoulder whilst Craig wowed as Morticia Addams, leaving viewers open mouthed as he sported a long black wig, a gown and knee-high boots.

Motsi also looked incredible wearing a skeleton-inspired outfit as she had half her face covered in jewels whilst Anton Du Beke looked worlds away from his usual smart self, dressing as a long-haired pirate.
