Strictly Come Dancing viewers took to social media within minutes of Saturday night's Halloween special to complain that the show's presenters were not dressed in fancy dress.
The BBC competition returned with a Halloween-themed episode, with celebrities and their professional partners performing in costumes while the judges also dressed up for the spooky season.
Presenters Skip the Halloween Theme
However, Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe, who presented the special, drew criticism from viewers who felt they had not entered into the Halloween spirit. Complaints centred on the fact that the presenting trio were not wearing costumes like the rest of the show's participants.
One viewer wrote on X: "Presenters and judges wearing awful outfits tonight. (Apart from Shirley) No effort or completely irrelevant. It's Halloween not a christening. No wonder I stopped watching."
Viewer Reaction
The complaint echoed across social media shortly after the show began, with audience members questioning why the presenters had not matched the effort of the dancers and judges.
The story is developing, and the Showbiz Express.co.uk team has said it will update the article with the latest information as it is received.
