Strictly Come Dancing fans fume over production detail which 'used to be great'

As Strictly Come Dancing returns for the Sunday evening results show, fans were left fuming as they noticed a change to the elimination music and claimed it 'used to be great'. The show saw the remaining contestants stand with their professional dance partners, as they were called out one at a time who is safe from elimination.

The change in music didn't slip by the fans who were left confused and unimpressed. One viewer took to X, formally known as Twitter, and said: “Why have they changed the results music? It used to be great”, while another added: "There was nothing wrong with original music down the results why change it #StrictlyComeDancing #SCD #Strictly”.

It follows after the BBC announced a huge change to the results show as the 2025 season kicked off. At the end of the first live show, hosts Claudia and Tess revealed that the power is no longer in Shirley Ballas ' hands. For the last seven years, head judge Shirley has been responsible for the gruelling decision of choosing which couple in the bottom two should leave if the votes are tied after the dance off.

However, that has been changed and the power is now going to be shared between all the four judges, with a different judge holding the power each week.

Amid all the new changes also included a massive overhaul to their voting system for the current series. For numerous years, fans could support their favourite couple by dialling premium-rate telephone numbers. However, the BBC has now branded the system as "outdated" and unveiled a significant transformation to how people can cast their votes.

The Eurovision Song Contest in Basel earlier this year represented the final major BBC programme to permit audiences to ring in and place their vote.
