BBC Announce Huge Strictly Come Dancing Shake-up as New Rule Confirmed - Liverpool Echo
The BBC will fully switch to online voting for Strictly Come Dancing in 2025 after BT ceased phone voting services; most votes were already cast online last season.
- On Saturday, September 20 the BBC announced all voting for Strictly Come Dancing will be online-only from the 2025 series, coinciding with Strictly Come Dancing: The Launch Show on BBC One.
- After BT announced it would stop offering phone-vote services to the BBC in 2025, the BBC described the system as outdated and expensive to run.
- To vote under the new system, viewers need a BBC account, and the BBC said, `We know this is a change for some viewers, so we’ll be sharing clear instructions during shows like Strictly to explain how to get set up and vote`.
- A vocal response came from viewers who said this could be a game changer for #Strictly, as most vote online anyway, and fans largely welcomed ending phone voting, with social posts calling it 'about time' and noting they already vote online.
- With the ballroom line-up set, last year's winners Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell return, as Strictly airs Saturdays on BBC One with spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two on weeknights on BBC Two.
