The only thing scarier than a spooky Strictly Halloween special is saying goodbye to another celebrity.
Last week, we had to say goodbye to former Rugby player Ugo Monye and his partner Oti Mabuse.
The couple was sent home after competing in the dreaded dance-off with CBBC presenter Rhys Stephenson and his partner Nancy Xu.
Now that another couple has exited the Strictly ballroom, here is a rundown of all the celebrities that have left the show so far and who will still be dancing come Saturday night.
Who has left Strictly Come Dancing so far?

Former Rugby player Ugo and professional dancer Oti Mabuse exited the ballroom following the week 5 dance-off.
The pair had returned to the ballroom for a Rumba after a previous back injury left Ugo unable to perform during week 4.
But his return wasn't to last with the former athlete's performance to the song Leave The Door Open by Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak and Silk Sonic failed to impress the judges.
Monye talked about his Strictly journey on social media, saying:"We've had the best time, we have laughed a lot.
"Ahhh it was good fun though.
"It was nice to be able to do something [the Rumba] a bit slow and a bit different.
"And I know the Rumba's a really tough Latin dance, but in fairness you're on the show to push yourself, push your boundaries...
"It's all been about brand new experiences for me and even though it was my last dance."
Greg Wise and Karen Hauer

Actor Greg Wise and his partner Karen Hauer left the Strictly ballroom at the week 4 stage.
The couple's samba failed to impress the judges on Saturday night, scoring only 19 points.
The pair were pegged as the bookie's favourite to leave and found themselves in the dance off with Judi and Graziano.
Wise posted a moving video to Instagram after leaving the show.
He said: "I'm thrilled I had the opportunity to do it and I'm thrilled that I could talk about death on a Saturday night and hopefully widen the conversation we all need to have.
He added: "I hope I gave you all a bit of joy, it was a great joy for me.
"And thank you for supporting and thank you for being on the journey with me."
Robert and Dianne Buswell
Comedian Robert Webb withdrew from Strictly Come Dancing due to ill health on October 13 2021.
The Peep Show star, who had open heart surgery two years ago, said he was advised by a doctor to quit the show after he had “begun to feel symptoms” while training.
Webb, 49, made the announcement on Twitter.
He said: “I’m proud of the three dances that Dianne Buswell and I managed to perform and deeply regret having to let her down like this.
“I couldn’t have wished for a more talented partner or more patient teacher, and it’s a measure of Dianne’s professionalism and kindness that I was able to get as far as I did.”
Katie McGlynn and Gorka Marquez
Hollyoaks actress Katie and partner Gorka were the second couple to leave Strictly.
The couple, who found themselves in the dance off on two occasions was voted after their Movie Week routine.
They performed a Cruella de Vil-inspired routine but were eliminated after finding themselves in the bottom two with Judi Love and Graziano Di Prima.
Katie and Gorka appeared on the show's spin-off programme "It Takes Two" with hosts Rylan Clarke and Janette Manrara.
Katie said:“We’re sad because it means we won’t be rehearsing together, it means our journey’s ended but we’re still going to stay friends."
Nina Wadia and Neil Jones
Nina and Neil were the first couple to be eliminated from this year's series of Strictly.
The pair shared this hilarious video on Nina's Instagram after they left the competition.
Handing over their belongings to a thief behind the camera, Nina joked: "I think the public were right Neil - I think we were robbed.
"Thank you for all your votes and thank you for all your support."
Neil added:" We love you and we love Strictly!"
