Chris Ramsey and his partner Karen Hauer danced a samba version of the Backstreet Boys' Everybody on the Strictly Come Dancing Halloween show.

Despite rehearsing hard all week – "I have moved my hips more today than I have in my life," said Chris – and going down very well with the studio audience the judges' responses were mixed. 

Motsi Mabuse said: "Those hips, they kind of warmed up...you gave fun to that samba." - six points 

Shirley Ballas pointed out that there were some mistakes and added "I would have liked to have seen just a but more in the body." six points

Bruno Tolioni added: "Somehow the whole kind of thing worked in a spooky way." six points

And Craig Revel Horwood said: "It did look like you came back from the dead, there wasn't much going on." five points.

They scored a total of 23 points, leaving them in bottom place and in danger of elimination on Sunday night. 

Before the performance the South Shields stand-up was upbeat about his stint on the series. "I didn't expect to make it all the way to Halloween week, but then I didn't expect to make it to week two. And you can't get voted off in week one." Afterwards he said "it's the best I could do in a week."
