The BBC has confirmed if Strictly Come Dancing’s Sunday result show will be axed.<\/p>\n
Fans of Strictly have been expressing their concern for the future of the Sunday show following leaks and result show spoilers.<\/p>\n
Every weekend, the BBC show airs two episodes, with the live show on the Saturday seeing stars dance and the pre-recorded result show the following evening on the Sunday.<\/p>\n
As the result show is pre-recorded in front of a live audience, there are often leaks about who was eliminated before the Sunday show airs.<\/p>\n
Following reports from the Mail Online that BBC bosses want to change the show’s format, some fans think now is the time to axe the Strictly result show.<\/p>\n
Will the BBC cancel Strictly Come Dancing’s result show?<\/p>\n
The BBC has confirmed that they have no plans to axe the Strictly result show.<\/p>\n
Discussing reports of the Mail’s story, a BBC spokesperson said, “This story is nonsense. Strictly\u2019s results show is hugely popular and over seven million people came together to watch it live last Sunday night.”<\/p>\n
The BBC also shared that last Sunday’s result show brought in 7.1 million viewers, with numbers expected to grow once BBC iPlayer viewers are factored in.<\/p>\n
The broadcaster added that the Sunday show’s overnight figure was five million viewers more than the most-watched program on other channels.<\/p>\n
