Furious Strictly fans express outrage over schedule change

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing were left seething after a surprise shake-up in the show's schedule. The BBC dance contest, which typically airs on Saturday evenings, was moved forward by a whole hour. Viewers took issue with the programme starting at 6pm, an hour earlier than the previous weekend's episode. While the broadcaster did not make an official announcement regarding the change, it is not uncommon for the show to begin between 6pm and 7:30pm. Some fans even took to social media to claim that the broadcaster had "no right" to alter the schedule.

Remembrance Day concert could be a factor

It is believed that the airing of the Remembrance Day concert played a role in the schedule change. The BBC often adjusts its programming to accommodate special events and occasions. However, this was not confirmed by the broadcaster.

Disgruntled fans take to social media

Frustrated viewers expressed their anger on social media platforms, with many voicing their dissatisfaction with the earlier start time. One fan tweeted, "#Strictly has got no right being on so bloody early. #SCD." Another simply remarked, "#Strictly is on pretty early tonight." A third viewer questioned, "Why is Strictly on at Six O'Clock? Absolutely ridiculously early."

Blackpool week looms for the contestants

Despite the schedule shake-up, the show went on as planned. Layton Williams, Ellie Leach, and Bobby Brazier all impressed the judging panel with their performances. However, Channel 4 star Krishnan Guru-Murthy found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard after his Samba failed to make an impact. The contestants now face the challenge of surviving another week in order to make it to the highly anticipated Blackpool week.

Bobby Brazier's surprising revelation

In a surprising moment during the show, Bobby Brazier hinted that he is dating someone new. The actor and model, who is the son of Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, casually mentioned to host Claudia Winkleman that he had been sharing a bed with a mystery individual. While the story was left unfinished, it left viewers speculating about Bobby's love life.

Shirley Ballas's hilarious on-air moment

Strictly judge Shirley Ballas provided a lighthearted moment during the show when she nearly wet herself with laughter. After watching tennis star Annabel Croft's performance, Shirley exclaimed, "You had beautiful chemistry and you let yourself go on this... I might wet my pants, I was so excited!" Her candid remark added a touch of humor to the evening's proceedings.
