What time is Strictly Come Dancing on TV and Â鶹Éç iPlayer?
Our couples return to the Strictly ballroom on Â鶹Éç One and Â鶹Éç iPlayer on Saturday 23 November from 7.05pm. Watchlist it now.
They’ll each perform another routine before taking on a brand new challenge, the first ever samba-thon. As the judges eliminate them one by one, who will volta their way to victory? Points from both rounds of dancing will be combined before you at home get the chance to save your favourites.
Strictly Results
Tess and Claud return with the results on iPlayer and Â鶹Éç One from 7.20pm on Sunday 17 November as our couples find out who has made it through to next weekend’s musicals special.
Our professionals perform a group routine with some incredible guest performers. And two more couples go head-to-head in the dance-off. Who will stay in the race for the glitterball?
Watch Strictly Come Dancing with British Sign Language

Strictly 2024 Dance-A-Thon
As exclusively revealed on Strictly: It Takes Two, on Saturday November 23 the remaining Strictly couples will take to the Ballroom floor together to impress the judges with their best Samba moves in this series Samba-Thon.
Strictly's first Dance-A-Thon challenge took place in the show’s seventh series in 2009 and has reappeared numerous times throughout the show’s 22 series. The Dance-A-Thon format is a staple of Ballroom and Latin dance competitions around the world and its timely return for this special 20th anniversary series is a nod towards the world of professional Ballroom and Latin dancing.
After all of the couples have performed their main dance in the show, they’ll shimmy back on to the Ballroom floor to Samba as a group before the judges eliminate couples one by one, until the winner is crowned. Couples will need to quickly impress the judges as their final position in the Samba-Thon will have an impact on the overall score for the night.
