The glitterball is calling once more as Strictly Come Dancing prepares for its eighth thrilling week of competition. The excitement is palpable with the iconic trip to Blackpool Tower now just one week away, but first, the remaining couples must navigate another high-stakes live show.
What Time Does Strictly Start This Saturday?
Dust off your dancing shoes and ready your sparkles, because the show returns on Saturday, November 15. This week's broadcast shakes up the routine with a slightly later start. The live show is scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM on BBC One.
This episode is set to be the shortest live show of the series so far, with a runtime of just 90 minutes. It is expected to conclude at 8:00 PM, at which point the public vote will officially open. Every remaining couple will take to the floor, aiming to impress both the judges and the viewers at home with their latest routines.
When Is The Strictly Results Show?
The tension continues into Sunday with the dreaded dance-off. The results show for week eight is scheduled for Sunday, November 16.
It will air at 7:15 PM and run for approximately 45 minutes, finishing at around 8:00 PM. During this broadcast, the two couples with the lowest combined scores from the judges and the public vote will be revealed. They will then perform their routines one more time in the dance-off, leaving the judges to make the final, difficult decision of who stays and who leaves the competition.
The Glittering Prize of Blackpool
With Blackpool looming on the horizon, the stakes have never been higher for the celebrities and their professional partners. The legendary trip to the iconic Blackpool Tower ballroom is a highlight of the Strictly Come Dancing calendar, and every contestant will be desperate to secure their place for the special event. The pressure is on in week eight, as a misstep now could mean missing out on the spectacular.
