The group dance on last night’s Strictly Come Dancing results show was dropped at the last minute following the tragic news coming out of the Midlands.
Three children – aged just eight, 10 and 11 – died after falling through the ice covering a lake in Solihull on Sunday – and a six-year-old child remains critically ill in hospital.
Strictly‘s results show typically begins with a group dance routine – pre-recorded in advance – and this week’s episode was due to feature a performance involving judge Craig Revel Horwood playing the Snow Queen.
A BBC spokesperson confirmed: “In light of tragic news events, we took the decision not to broadcast the group dance on this week’s results show.”
Strictly concludes this weekend with a feature-length finale on Saturday at 7.05pm.
