Halloween has come to the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor, and the couples are getting spooky this week.

Straight off the back of Icons Week, the celebrities will be doing their best to impress judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke with some spooky-inspired routines. But it seems fans have spotted a trend when it comes to one particular dancer.

YouTuber George Clarke will be doing a Cha Cha Cha to 'Apple' by Charli XCX. But viewers are saying they don't want to see him perform any more songs that have been trending on TikTok.

"Feels like they're setting George up with the song choices. Like he said 'Internet man does the Trendy internet songs'," one fan wrote on Instagram. "Can we stop giving George TikTok songs???? Setting him up to fail yet again it’s getting annoying now… 4 weeks in a row," another said.

A third added: "Is strictly setting george up to fail? I love charlie xcx but a cha cha to apple is such an awful choice?"
