STRICTLY Come Dancing won't be headed to the iconic Tower Ballroom in Blackpool this year for the first time in the show's history.
The Blackpool show is usually a highlight of the series but has had to be cancelled this year because of Covid-19. The BBC has exclusively confirmed to The Sun Online that the show's stars are staying put. "Blackpool is a milestone moment in every series of Strictly that our audience, our celebs and professional dancers look forward to," a BBC spokeswoman said. "Whilst we'll be unable to physically go to Blackpool this series, we'll still be celebrating this iconic venue and bringing it to life from our studio in Elstree." Yesterday we revealed Strictly stars could undergo DAILY checks for coronavirus.
