Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly has shared her excitement, as the BBC programme prepares to broadcast live on a Sunday for the first time ever.
It will be the first time that the beloved BBC competition will air on a Sunday in its 18 year history, as contestants prepare to take to the dance floor for the semi-final.
The live semi-final is usually broadcast on a Saturday, but due to the FIFA World Cup, the Strictly schedule was moved to accommodate upcoming football matches.
