Strictly Come Dancing returned tonight (October 26) with all the sparkle and even some spookiness as it's Halloween week.
Each of the judges donned Halloween costumes, keeping in with the theme but two really caught viewers' eyes.
Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke were recognised instantly having dressed as the young twin girls from The Shining.
Fans of the dancing competition found the costume choice "hilarious" and one said they "will never unsee" the two men in the costumes.

Revel Horwood and Du Beke came down the steps at the start of the show, holding hands and donning identical frilly dresses with a big bow on the front, complete with wigs and clips in their hair.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
