These bloody killer clowns have been popping up a lot lately, causing havoc all over the place.
We were pretty sick of them already, but when Geordie Shore's Chloe Ferry was subject to a horrifying killer clown encounter, THAT was the final straw.
OK, so they're usually only teenagers dressing up for a laugh (not actually funny), and Chlo did come away unscathed BUT we just can't hack any more of these spooky circus dwellers.
It's not big and it's not clever, guys. Pls stop.
Given our stern telling off to any potential killer clowns reading this, you can imagine our joy when news reached heatworld that they have been banned from the Strictly Come Dancing Halloween show.
This doesn't mean there's going to be a queue of angry killer clowns getting turned away from the Strictly audience – although that would be pretty satisfying to see.
But producers have forbidden the contestants from donning scary clown outfits during the Halloween show this Saturday.
This decision comes as BBC bosses fear the costumes would be too scary for the show's viewers after the killer clown craze has spread across the UK. It is a family show after all.
"Halloween is a big event in the Strictly calendar but producers had decided to count out clowns this year…especially in light of recent events," a source told the Daily Star.
Viewers have been told not worry, though, as Strictly's Halloween special promises to be filled with plenty of festive fun.
While red noses, bow ties and clown shoes may be banned, contestants can still dress up as all sorts of spooky characters.
There's guaranteed to be a whole host of witches, monsters and ghosts hitting the dance floor.
Oh and Ed Balls, of course.
