Strictly Come Dancing bosses ‘face scheduling dilemma’

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ could be taken off the air due to a scheduling clash with the World Cup.
The hit show is one of the BBC’s flagship TV series, but the broadcaster is currently facing a big dilemma, with the World Cup starting in Qatar in November and matches being staged at 6pm or 7pm UK time.
Despite this, an insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “BBC bosses are confident there will be plenty of room for footballs and glitterballs this autumn.
“We haven’t had the draw yet so it is early days to speculate on what games the BBC and ITV will pick to show.”
In the past, there have been occasions when the BBC has decided to air the show on Friday nights. However, at the moment, it’s not clear as to how the broadcaster will look to resolve the issue.
The World Cup is typically held over the summer, meaning it’s never clashed with ‘Strictly’s usual schedule. But due to the extreme temperatures in Qatar over the summer, the tournament has been moved to later in the year.
Meanwhile, Brendan Cole recently admitted he hated being portrayed as the “competitive one” on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 45-year-old ballroom dancer starred on the BBC show for 15 series, but Brendan confessed to feeling limited by the narrative.
Brendan – who recently competed on ‘Dancing On Ice’ – shared: “I came on the show hoping to show another side to me. ‘Strictly’ only wanted to show one side to me.
“And they really pushed that side of me. There was very much a narrative that the show went with for 15 series. And it was tiring because it was actually not me.”
