Strictly Come Dancing’s launch show has been postponed until Friday September 23, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Originally scheduled to air on September 17, two days before the monarch’s funeral, bosses have now confirmed the pre-recorded opener will be released just one day before the first live show on Saturday, September 24.
The United Kingdom was placed in a period of national mourning on September 8 after Buckingham Palace announced the Queen’s passing, with much of BBC’s schedule filled with rolling coverage of events leading to her funeral on September 19.
