Before this week's show had even started, Strictly Come Dancing fans were complaining about the BBC moving from Saturday to an unusual Friday night slot, saying bosses had made the 'wrong decision.'
After a lot of speculation that this year's Strictly quarter final would be shunted from its usual slto Friday, the move was confirmed by host Tess Daly at the end of last week's results show. Standing next to co-host Claudia Winkleman, Tess said: "We will be back at 8 o'clock next Friday, yes you heard right, Friday," before she introduced Ellie and Johannes' goodbye performance.
Fans weren't too happy by the news, with one tweeting: "Can't believe that #WorldcupQatar2022 has pushed the #Strictly quarter final to Friday night." A second posted: "So the #Strictly results show cut short tonight because of footy match containing no home country - next week it’s on Friday instead of Saturday because of footy - now if only there was a BBC sport channel or even a BBC2 this footy could have been shown on."
