Strictly Come Dancing fans have issued a complaint after the song choices for Halloween week were revealed ahead of Saturday night's live show.

The BBC programme's annual Halloween-themed show will air on Saturday, 26 October with the stars taking to the dance floor with spooky performances. Each year, Halloween week is a highlight of Strictly, with some of the show's most iconic performances coming from the themed night.

It has been announced that Montell and Johannes will dance the Cha Cha to Love Potion No.9 by The Clovers, while Punam and Gorka will perform a Tango to Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics. Sam and Nikita will dance a Jive to Time Warp by The Rocky Horror Picture Cast and Sarah and Vito are doing an Argentine Tango to Ready or Not by Fugees.

Also, Tasha and Aljaz will perform a Samba to I Like To Move It Move It by Reel 2 Real, while Chris and Dianne are dancing a Samba to Stayin' Alive by The Bee Gees. Dancing an American Smooth to The Addams Family Theme by Vic Mizzy is Jamie and Michelle, and JB and Amy are dancing a Foxtrot to Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader.

Pete and Jowita will perform a Viennese Waltz to That's Life by Frank Sinatra, Shayne and Nancy will dance a Paso Doble to In The Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg, and Wynne and Katya will dance a Salsa to Canned Heat by Jamiroquai.

While there's no doubt going to be some spectacular performances, some Strictly fans were underwhelmed by the song choices for this year's pairs. There were complaints about certain songs and themes being repeated several times over the years.

Writing on Reddit, fans complained about The Addams Family theme tune being used once again, as well as Time Warp. One person said: "I'm obsessed with the idea of a Paso to Hall of the Mountain King! Not exactly traditional, but I love classical music so it makes up for it. Not so enthusiastic about yet another smooth to the Addams Family or Jive to Time Warp. Seriously, again?"

Another said: "Jamie and Michelle doing Addams Family, already drawing comparisons to Michelle & Gio's dance to the same song," and somebody else added: "At this time I feel like I've danced to the Addams Family theme on Strictly. It's a great tune, but yeeeesh."
