Strictly Come Dancing fans were left asking for it to 'please stop' as they 'still' can't get used to the biggest change of the series.

The hit dance show was back on BBC One and it was Halloween week in the ballroom. Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman swerved donning fancy dress, instead wearing matching all-black ensembles.

But they didn't need to go too crazy as the judges certainly made up for it. Strictly viewers were left screaming at Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke's incredible joint effort as the twins from The Shining while Motsi Mabuse came dressed as classic Disney villain Cruella de Vill while head judge Shirley Ballas appeared as Hocus Pocus' Winifred Sanderson.

But it was the acted opening to the Halloween special and the change to Tess and Claudia not making their usual entrance to the Strictly theme tune courtesy of Dave Arch's band that is still getting under viewers' skin. @JMACL1673 noted early: "Nonsense intros incoming #Strictly." @roscoeleebarnes said: "Please please please stop opening with Tess and Claudia just stood there #Strictly." @StillNotWitty commented: "Can they please stop doing these stupid intros.
