Professional dancer Kevin Clifton is getting back into the glitz and glamour of the Strictly Come Dancing world but the announcement has divided BBC viewers.

The 41-year-old decided to leave the BBC show back in 2020 after being part of the series for seven years and he is appearing on sister show It Takes Two next week.

Presenter Fleur East told viewers Kevin will appear on next Tuesday’s instalment for a special Halloween edition.

However, it’s not known if he'll become a permanent edition as he’s stepping in to replace his sister Joanne Clifton who is taking a week off from the show.

Sharing the news on It Takes Two" on Tuesday night, Fluer said: "It's a scary time for our Strictly couples, made even more frightening because Kevin Clifton has risen again for Choreography

Corner.”

Fans of the show can get involved with Kevin’s return by picking the Halloween costume he will wear.

People get to vote on him either being the evil Joker nurse, the undead living doll from the Chucky films or the Addams family daughter, Wednesday.

However, his sister confessed they weren’t fans of the spooky season growing up as she told Fleur they would stay in the house crying.

Joanne went on to reveal that she and Kevin were "not at all" fans of Halloween when they were younger and used to "stay in the house crying".

Fleur jokingly replied: "We better not trigger any memories when your brother is here."
