Strictly Come Dancing bosses have postponed this year's launch show, following the Queen's death, with a new transmission date confirmed.
Strictly is always the BBC's biggest show of the year and anticipation has been high for the new series, with the line-up featuring Will Mellor, Kym Marsh, Matt Goss and early favourite to win, Fleur East.
The pre-recorded launch show for 2022, where the celebs find out who their pro dance partners are, was filmed on Wednesday, September 7, just a day before the Queen's death at the age of 96. It had been due to air on BBC One on Saturday. September 17, but given that the Queen's funeral won't take place until Monday, September 19, those plans have now been scrapped.
