Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left amused and confused by Anton Du Beke's angel costume during Halloween Week, with many taking to social media to compare his look to Liberace.
The themed show is one of the most popular of the Strictly season, and the judges wore their spooky outfits in honour of the occasion. Anton arrived on stage with fellow judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse for the opening routine. It was explained that Anton had come dressed as an angel, in contrast to Craig's devil.
Viewers compare Anton's outfit to Liberace
However, viewers following the show on social media were baffled, saying his outfit reminded them of something else. Ash said: "Anton had come as an angel? I thought he was Liberace". Louise posted: "is Anton dressed as Liberace?" Caitlin added: "I missed the beginning, what is Anton dressed as?"
Kev posted: "Anton looks like he could play Ken's Grandad in the Barbie film". Darren posted: "I thought Anton had come as Liberace." Betty said: "Why does Anton look like a pound shop Liberace ?" Daz said: "Anton come as Liberace".
Ghost pottery scene recreated
One hilarious moment saw Anton and Craig recreate the pottery scene from Ghost, which prompted host Josh Widdicombe to joke: "I take it back. That's the most disturbing thing I've ever seen."
Halloween Week is one of the most eagerly anticipated shows of the Strictly season. The show saw the remaining partnerships take to the stage to dance spooky themed routines.
