Strictly Come Dancing Week 7: Your Essential Viewing Guide

The glitterball is calling once more as Strictly Come Dancing 2025 prepares for its seventh thrilling weekend. After the spooky festivities of Halloween week, the competition intensifies as the remaining celebrities edge closer to the hallowed Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

What Time to Tune In This Saturday

Mark your calendars and ready your voting fingers. The Strictly Come Dancing live show for week seven is scheduled for Saturday, November 8. In a slight change to the usual timing, the programme will begin at 6.25 PM on BBC One.

This week's broadcast is set to be the shortest live show of the series so far, with a run time of just over 90 minutes. The show is expected to conclude at approximately 8.00 PM, at which point the public vote will officially open. Every remaining couple will take to the floor to perform a brand new routine, hoping to secure their place in the next round.

Sunday's Dramatic Results Show

The tension continues into Sunday evening with the dreaded results show. The fate of the contestants will be revealed on Sunday, November 9, with the broadcast starting at 7.10 PM.

The programme will run for around 50 minutes, finishing at about 8.00 PM. Viewers will witness the revelation of the bottom two couples before they face each other in the final dance-off. The judges will then make the ultimate decision on who stays in the competition and who must hang up their dancing shoes.

With no specific theme this week, the focus is purely on technique and performance, building anticipation for the iconic Blackpool special that lies ahead.
