In Pictures: First look at Strictly Come Dancing’s Halloween-themed group dance

This weekend Halloween takes over the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor – and to start the show, the professional dancers perform a spooky group routine.

The performance is headed up by Nikita Kuzmin and Alexis Warr, who are pictured on a first date at a drive-in movie theatre… before Nikita reveals that he is in fact a vampire.

Set to ‘Dracula’ by Tame Impala, the Tango-styled routine ends with a vocal cameo from Sir Ian McKellen, who has specially recorded an extract from Bram Stoker’s Dracula to be heard at the routine’s climax.

Strictly airs Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
