Strictly fans fume as BBC1 show is moved AGAIN due to the World Cup
December 13, 2022
Strictly Come Dancing fans are raging after the show has been moved from its usual Saturday nights slot to make way for the World Cup.
The semi-final next week will be taking place on Sunday December 11 at 7.15pm, with the Strictly results show on Monday December 12 at 8.15pm.
The switch-up has been made so that the quarter-final of the World Cup can air on BBC1 instead.

The Netherlands v Argentina football match will kick-off at 7:00pm meaning Strictly fans will have to wait an extra day to see the semi-final.
And viewers are not pleased by the schedule change, taking to social media to complain.
One said: ‘I wish to make a complaint! Is there a petition I can sign? @BBCOne rushing through #strictly this year so the football can take over the airwaves. It looks like the judges can’t be bothered either. Put the football on BBC2.’
Another agreed writing: ‘Who do I complain to about @bbcstrictly being on Sunday next week rather than Saturday?! Tonight all the shows on @BBCTwo are repeats – will probably be the same next week. Put the football there and leave #Strictly alone!’

A third echoed: ‘If football has to be on BBC1 then why not put @bbcstrictly on BBC2 on Saturday night it’s the Semifinal Great lineup for next week though.
‘Schedulers get a one from me for this series of #Strictly @BBCOne @BBCTwo @bbcPoV we want answers!’
And a fourth tweeted: ‘BBC has made major mistake in rescheduling #Strictly. First to Friday/Saturday and now to Sunday/Monday. Golden rule of TV: never mess with your most-viewed show. Simply move football to BBC2/3/4/red button/iPlayer. Enough options there. Prioritising Arge v Oz can’t be justified.’
It comes after Molly Rainford made it through to next week’s semi-finals of Strictly after she competed in the dance-off against Kym Marsh, who was voted off the show on Saturday.

In Friday’s live show, Kym came bottom of the leaderboard as she returned to the dance floor after being forced to miss last week’s show due to a positive Covid test.
Kym received glowing feedback from the judges on Musicals Week but still found herself at with lower marks than her peers, scoring 34 points – with two nines from Motsi and Shirley.
And following the public vote, Kym and her professional partner Graziano Di Prima landed in the bottom two alongside Molly, and performed the Cha Cha to the musical Fame in a bid to remain in the contest.
Molly and Carlos also took to the floor for a second performance of their Charleston to Hot Honey Rag from the musical Chicago.

However, the judges picked Molly and Carlos to go through to the semi finals, after she came in second place with 38 points during Friday’s live show.
After both couples had danced for a second time, Craig Revel Horwood delivered his verdict, sending Molly and Carlos through to next week’s live show.
He said: ‘It’s always so difficult at this point of the competition, because both couples danced brilliantly, I don’t want to see either couple go.
‘I am really splitting hairs, but the couple I want to save, based just on the best dance tonight for me is Molly and Carlos.’
Motsi Mabuse then gave another vote to Molly and Carlos, saying: 온라인슬롯 ‘First of all, I want to say to both of you, that you can be so so proud of yourselves. You’ve both been so great and amazing. I’m going to base my decision on this dance off and I’m going to save Molly and Carlos.’
But Anton Du Beke then saved Kym and Graziano, putting the deciding vote on head judge Shirley Ballas.
Delivering his verdict, he said: ‘As you’d expect at this time of the competition, the quality of the dance off was incredible, I thought both couples danced brilliantly, but I felt one couple raised their game with a freedom which they didn’t have on Friday night, and because of that I am going to save Kym and Graziano.’
Casting the deciding vote, head judge Shirley then decided to save Molly and Carlos, meaning it was Kym and Graziano who were sent packing.
She said: ‘Well first of all huge congratulations to both couples. Both couples danced exquisitely, it’s been a very difficult decision to make. But based on this dance and this dance alone, I’m going to save Molly and Carlos.’
