Strictly star Jowita Przystal debuts shock new look

Last night’s results show saw a dance number from the Strictly pro’s take place.

The pros danced to Lady Gaga’s Bloody Mary, whilst dressed like characters from The Addams Family.

The number was clearly inspired by the dance number in the Netflix show, Wednesday, featuring Jenna Ortega.

In the performance, Luba Mushtuk took on the role of Morticia, whilst Graziano Di Prima was Gomez.

And, taking on the lead role of Wednesday Addams herself, was Jowita. However, some fans didn’t realise that it was the Polish dancer at first!
