For four nights, Kevin will be back working on the BBC show - taking a look back at the celebrity dancers and giving viewers a taste of the technique.

After Tuesday's Choreography Corner with Joanne, host Fleur East said: "Well, Joanne, you're off next week aren't you..."

She then told fans to expect a "spooky treat" next Tuesday night.

"Yes boys and ghouls, next week is halloween", Fleur said.

"It's a scary time for our Strictly couples made even more frightening because Kevin Clifton has risen again for Choreography Corner."

She then revealed how viewers can get involved in his return - by choosing his Halloween costume.

Fleur said: "Ahead of his appearance on Halloween we want you to decide which ghastly costume he will wear."

Fans can vote on whether Kevin dresses as a Joker nurse, undead living doll Chucky or the Addams' Family daughter.

Kevin won series 16 with the future mother of his child, Stacey Dooley.

They welcomed baby daughter Minnie in January.

Kevin devastated fans by quitting the show after competing with Anneka Rice and then Alex Scott when her dance partner Neil Jones was injured.

Kevin will is filling in on It Takes Two for his sister Joanne, 39, who is touring the country in Shrek The Musical.
