Strictly Come Dancing has axed plans for the traditional Christmas Special episode for the 2020 festive season – according to reports.
Fans of the long running BBC reality dance competition have seen their Christmas dreams stuffed for the end of the year as the coronavirus pandemic has torpedoed plans for the usual winter special.
The 2020 season of Strictly is hoping to go ahead amid the ongoing global health crisis posed by the coronavirus pandemic – although Bruno Toniloli is expected to miss out as he has repeatedly picked Dancing With The Stars to feature on in 2020 instead.
But while the main series is on course to kick off in October for a limited run of episodes, the traditional Christmas episode has been abandoned.
