Halloween Week Heats Up

The sighting came during the Halloween week episode, when the remaining celebrities ditched the glitz and glamour for more ghoulish appearances. The competition has been heating up after the first 10s of the series were awarded last Saturday (October 24).

Anton Du Beke gave both Delta Goodrem and Tabitha Stoecker top marks for their performances. The Olympian was also given another 10 from Motsi Mabuse, putting her at the top of the leaderboard last week with a score of 37. Delta was close behind with a total mark of 34, following her recent break from the show after hurting her rib.

The leaderboard is now being swept clean once again as the contestants take on new routines with their professional partners in a bid to impress the judges once more.
