Strictly Come Dancing fans confused as BBC show makes schedule change

Strictly Come Dancing faced a schedule shake up that confused some fans.

Normally, the main show airs on a Saturday evening with the results show following on a Sunday. But this weekend, for the semi-finals, the programming was interrupted by the FIFA World Cup.

France went up against England in the Qatar hosted competition on Saturday, December 10, meaning that Strictly was forced to move to today (Sunday, December 11) instead. The results show will follow tomorrow, on Monday, at 8.15pm.

But fans weren't impressed with the move and said it had thrown their whole weekend off. Dee said: "#Strictly on a Sunday should be illegal." Heather said: "#strictly on a Sunday feels illegal."

Louise said: "It’s weird watching @bbcstrictly on a Sunday night, I’m usually watching the result show #Semifinal #strictly." Another user said: "My brain is not enjoying #Strictly being on a Sunday night."

Battling it out for a place in the final are Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal, alongside Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez. Joining them are Will Mellor and Nancy Xu, as well as Fleur East and Vito Coppola.

Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu also have a place in the semi-final, having been saved over Kym Marsh and Graziano Di Prima in last week's results show.
