The regular themed edition of the celebrity dance competition is a favourite of fans, seeing contestants perform routines choreographed to popular showtunes.<\/p>\n
However, now that one of the \u2018Round of 16\u2019 World Cup matches has been pencilled in for 7pm (GMT) on Saturday 3rd December, the special episode has been moved to Friday.<\/p>\n
Strictly Come Dancing<\/a>\u2018s Musicals Week will be broadcast live on BBC One at\u00a08pm <\/strong>on Friday 2nd December<\/strong>, but the week\u2019s results show is yet to find a spot on the schedules. We\u2019ll bring you that update as soon as it is confirmed.<\/p> After last weekend\u2019s performances, current favourites to lift Strictly\u2019s iconic Glitterball trophy include Hamza Yassin<\/a>, Helen Skelton<\/a> and Will Mellor<\/a>, while people\u2019s champ Tony Adams has bowed out<\/a> of the contest due to injury.<\/p>\n While fans of the long-running BBC competition series are on the edge of their seats as it nears its final weeks, conversation is likely to be dominated by football as the World Cup kicks off.<\/p>\n Though host country Qatar has been criticised for its human rights record, including treatment of LGBTQ+ people, it is still likely to draw in huge viewership as England fans hope for a performance on par with the exhilarating Euro 2020.<\/p>\n Strictly has never had to worry about clashing with the World Cup before as the tournament usually takes place in the summer, but was moved to winter in this instance due to the particularly hot weather conditions in Qatar.<\/p>\n The World Cup final will take place on Sunday 18th December at 3pm (GMT), although it remains to be seen which two countries will be left to battle for that most coveted of trophies.<\/p>\n Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday 19th November at 7:45pm on BBC One.
