Strictly Come Dancing ever-present Brendan Cole has spooked Instagram users with his latest post ahead of tonight’s show.

The professional dancer – who has appeared in every series of the hit BBC programme – is set to dance a Viennese Waltz to A Thousand Years by Christian Perri from the Twilight films with partner and singer Anastacia.

He gave fans a spooky glimpse of his make-up as he prepared for Saturday night’s show.

His partner from series six – television and radio presenter Lisa Snowdon – commented on the picture calling it “Really, REALLY disturbing”.

TV presenter Caroline Flack, who starred in the 12th series of the show, added: “Oh em geeeee.”
