Tess Daly announces Strictly schedule change for Blackpool as show moved to later time slot

Tess Daly had some news for expectant Strictly Come Dancing fans about the show's Blackpool special, confirming next week's episode had been shunted to a later time slot.

Going into this weekend, all nine remaining couples left in the new series of Strictly had one thing in their sights - a place in Blackpool week, as the BBC programme's cast and crew travel to the seaside town for the first time in three years, after plans were ruined in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Blackpool's famous Tower Ballroom has been the sight of some incredible Strictly moments over the years, including Jill Halfpenny's epic jive to I'm Still Standing and now judge Anton Du Beke getting his first ever 10 alongside EastEnders star Emma Barton. Fans and everyone involved with the show are absolutely delighted that the 'Vegas of the north,' will be in the Strictly spotlight once again on Saturday, November 19.
