When is Strictly on BBC this week? Tess Daly announcement angers fans as show moved again

For the second week in a row, the BBC has confirmed that Strictly Come Dancing won't air on a Saturday night, with Tess Daly's announcement on the semi final being next Sunday not going down well with viewers.

There was a scheduling change for Strictly fans to get their heads round last week, when the quarter final was moved from Saturday to Friday, to allow the BBC to air live coverage of the World Cup knock out game between Argentina and Australia. That move did not go down well with many viewers who claimed it felt 'wrong' that the live show was on a day earlier.

Last weekend's Strictly result show, which was actually recorded on Friday night, went out at the much earlier time of 5.40pm on Friday evening, after the previous week's results were moved to an different time slot for a World Cup tie.
