According to the Radio Times, on November 18, the seventh episode of Doctor Who will air at 6:30pm and Strictly results show will begin at 7:20pm – shifted from the later time of 7:50pm in earlier weeks – until 8pm.
On Sunday night, viewers saw Ranj Singh get eliminated from the competition alongside pro partner Janette Manrara.
Judges opted to send the NHS doctor and This Morning star home after he ended up in the bottom two along with actor Charles Venn.
Craig Revel-Horwood, voted to save Ranj and Janette, but Darcey Bussell, Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli all voted to save Charles, making Dr Ranj the sixth celeb to leave this series with Janette.
The disappointed doctor said he was sad to be leaving after his samba with a Bonfire Night theme failed to impress the viewers at home.
He said: “I can’t express how much this has meant to me, I’ve done something I could only ever have dreamed of.”
Strictly Come Dancing dominated Saturday night viewing figures, boasting an average of 9.5 million viewers, the BBC said.
