Strictly Come Dancing fans will find themselves having to tune in on different days to catch episodes in the lead-up to the grand final.
The BBC competition will be moved from its usual Saturday evening slot on more than one occasion to make way for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, which kicks off on November 20. The huge sporting event being held in winter for the first time ever this year means that some of Strictly's live shows will instead be shown on Friday and Sunday nights in December, in a first for the series.
The World Cup round of 16 starts on Saturday December 3 - and although England or Wales won't be playing in the evening slot if they get through, the home nations could be in action just hours before. BBC bosses have decided to air Strictly's live show on Friday December 2 instead to make way for the event, The Mirror reports.
