Tyler West sends fans wild over Addams Family makeover with Dianne as he makes change BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers will spot

Tyler West has sent fans wild as he showed off his first Halloween makeover of 2022. The Strictly Come Dancing star will be hoping to impress with his spooky routine on Saturday night as he returns to the ballroom alongside dance partner Dianne Buswell.

However, it's not all work and no play as the Kiss FM DJ and professional dancer headed to Kiss FM's Haunted House Party on Friday night (October 28) at the OVO Arena Wembley. And the pair didn't disappoint with their costumes as Tyler, 26, and Dianne, 33, arrived at the star-studded event channelling members of the Addams Family.

Donning a pinstripe suit and the character's trademark moustache, Tyler appeared as Addams Family patriarch Gomez Addams, whilst Dianne channelled Morticia Addams, swapping her vibrant red locks for a black wig, matched with a figure-hugging black gown that featured a daring thigh-high split.

She opted for a heavy makeup palette, including a black smoky eye but added a bright red lipstick matching the bunch of red roses she was gripping onto as she posed with her dance partner. Posting a picture of the pair on his Instagram page as well as a video of them on stage at the event, Tyler wrote: "KISS HAUNTED HOUSE PARTY 22'."

And fans were loving it. @sarahlqwe said: "You both look incredible! I love it." @misha_in_the_kitchen wrote: "You are really going for it. Well done. On [fire]." @lovedbyyouuu commented: "UnREAL!!!! @diannebuswell looks incredible." @sunnybuswell posted: "You both look amazing!!"

But fans didn't mention that Tyler has made a bit of a change to his look that Strictly fans may also miss when he appears on screen on the BBC One dance show on Saturday night. Earlier this week, the radio star took to Instagram to tell his followers that he was full 'committed' to Halloween and in order for his costume to make sense, he was braving the shave.

"It's KISS' Haunted House Party, the biggest Halloween party of the year and my character for it, the costume I've got, the guy doesn't have a beard," he said. "So I need to shave off my beard! My five-year-old Ty is about to come out. I'm about to look like a child. Justin Bieber Tyler is about to come out."

He then posted a follow-up video showing his silky smooth face: "That's enough for today," he wrote alongside the clip with a baby and crying emoji as Justin Bieber's track 'Baby' blasted out. "Baby face ty committing to Halloween."

Last weekend on Strictly, Tyler and Dianne brought a haunting atmosphere to the dancefloor as they danced the tango to the Doctor Who theme tune. In honour of the BBC marking its centenary, the remaining couples performed routines to classic BBC theme songs and references to popular shows.

Tyler and Dianne's performance, which also featured a Tardis and Weeping Angels, secured a score of 32 with Craig Revel Horwood complimenting Tyler's “sharp” and “staccato” movements.
