A new week is dawning on Strictly Come Dancing as the road to the Glitterball Trophy continues. The remaining stars will take to the ballroom floor for another live show.

But when exactly can you expect to see the latest episode of the BBC’s legendary competition? Here’s all you need to know:
What time does Strictly Come Dancing start?


It would not be a Saturday or Sunday in autumn without a full weekend of Strictly Come Dancing action. The latest live show is set to take place tonight (November 29) and it will be followed by the results show tomorrow (November 30).
Strictly is due to start at 6.35pm on Saturday evening and will run for 90 minutes in total. The show will be followed by a new episode of Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel at 8.05pm.
The results show will return on Sunday and it is due to begin at 7.15pm. It is due to run for around 45 minutes and will finish at approximately 8pm.
Which songs will feature on Strictly this week?
The full song list - and the dances the celebs will take on - for week ten has been confirmed. It includes:

What does the Strictly leaderboard look like?
Due to the scores being rolled over from last week’s trip to Blackpool, due to La Voix’s injury exit, the leaderboard heading into week ten looks like this. One star scored yet another perfect 40.
- Lewis and Katya 40
- Karen and Carlos 39
- George and Alexis 39
- Amber and Nikita 36
- Alex and Johannes 35
- Balvinder and Julian 33
Will there be a dance-off on Strictly in week 10?
Last week’s trip to the iconic Blackpool Tower had a bittersweet turn with La Voix first missing the live show due to injury before having to pull out of the competition entirely. It is the fourth withdrawal from the cast since it was announced back in August.
Strictly didn’t have a dance-off last week because of the star having to quit. The bottom two will take to the ballroom once again on Sunday night in a bid to secure their spot in the competition.
Remind yourself why La Voix had to pull out of the competition last week. Plus see what was said about the exit.
