Chris Ramsey has been working at full capacity to prepare for this Saturday's Halloween themed showdown on the Strictly dance floor, but that doesn't mean he can't play a joke or two to ease the tension.

A few hours from the next stop on Strictly Come Dancing, he took to Twitter to joke about a harrowing idea for his wife's Christmas present.

The South Shields comedian shared a story by touring the social media with a man who saved his nail clippings for a year and incorporated them into the stone of an engagement ring for his girlfriend.

And to his wife Rosie he wrote: "Fantastic. Now you have to get yourself something else for Christmas."

Vlogger Rosie, whose podcast by Sh *** and Married Annoyed with her husband is a great success, replied with "NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH!" and nauseated emoji.

With the horror theme on the rise for Saturday's show, which will see him dance a spooky samba with partner Karen Hauer, Ramsey clearly felt more chills than creeps.

In the run-up to the big night, he could not contain his joy at the level of support he was receiving from his fellow Geordies.

The Chronicle reported Friday as Ramsey, who was able to train on the home field for his weekly Strictly Come Dancing appearances, found a lot of goodwill shown to him on the street and online.

On Saturday Ramsey also shared the story of The Chronicle with its nearly 500,000 followers on Twitter and added: "Support from the North East was unreal! Thank you very much!"

That support included Ramsey's name featured in an outdoor screening of The Customs House in his hometown of South Shields, alongside that of Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix that will also be in action tonight, performing their third and final date of their run at Newcastle Utilita Arena.

Strictly Come Dancing viewers can watch Ramsey and Hauer dance their samba to Tutti from the Backstreet Boys and catch up with the rest of the couples on BBC1 at 6.35pm.
