“Strictly Come Dancing: What time is it on tonight as countdown to Movie Week begins”
The countdown to Movie Week has begun on Strictly Come Dancing, and viewers are eagerly awaiting tonight’s episode of the BBC dancing competition. As the competition enters its third week, the remaining contestants are gearing up to showcase their dance skills to iconic movie soundtracks.
Tonight’s episode, airing on 5th October, will feature performances set to the music of beloved films such as Paddington, Wonka, and The Little Mermaid. Leading the leaderboard after a stellar performance last week is Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and her professional partner Aljaž Škorjanec, who will be dancing the Rumba to Billie Eillish’s “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.
However, there is a notable absence from this week’s lineup, as DIY SOS star Nick Knowles has been forced to withdraw from the competition due to an injury. Knowles sustained a knee injury during a dress rehearsal on Friday, 4th October, after a fall while attempting a jump. As a result, he will not be taking to the dance floor this weekend, receiving a bye through to the following week as per the show’s rules.
Movie Week follows the first elimination of the season, which saw Olympic champion Tom Dean bid farewell to the series. Additionally, the BBC recently concluded an investigation into accusations of abusive behaviour against professional dancer Giovanni Pernice. While some allegations were dismissed, the broadcaster issued an apology to actor Amanda Abbington, who had raised a complaint.
As fans await the excitement of Movie Week, it’s worth revisiting how the celebrity contestants fared in week two. Stay tuned for an evening filled with glitz, glamour, and movie magic on Strictly Come Dancing.
The competition continues to captivate audiences with its dazzling performances, captivating storylines, and sensational dance routines. So, set your reminders, grab your popcorn, and get ready to be entertained as the stars take to the dance floor in the spirit of the silver screen.
