Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left furious by the fact that the semi final has been shafted from the show's usual Saturday night slot for World Cup football, despite the BBC not even showing England v France.
There frustration for Strictly viewers last weekend when they were thrown off kilter, as the BBC moved the quarter final from Saturday to Friday, for the knock out stages of the Qatar tournament, even though England didn't play until Sunday. Just like she did a week earlier, Strictly host Tess Daly confirmed another scheduling change for the ballroom phenomenon at the end of last weekend's results show, announcing that it would be on Sunday, with the semi final results airing on a Monday.
Viewers assumed that the Strictly semi final being ousted from its long held Saturday time slot was because BBC One would be showing England v France, however that is not the case, as for the second England match in succession, it will be ITV who do the honours. It's presumed that the BBC have stayed strong on their decision to move Strictly, due to concerns that viewing figures would take a tip as Brits prioritise the World Cup quarter final.
