Qatar World Cup causes Strictly shows to be moved for next two weeks.

The forthcoming episodes of Strictly Come Dancing are to have a big shake-up due to the Qatar World Cup.

Normally, the popular BBC programme is aired on a Saturday night, with the results show shown the following evening. However, because the BBC will be showing World Cup matches during those days, both the quarter and semi-finals of Strictly have been moved. The former – which is a musicals special – will be shown at 8pm on Friday night on BBC One (December 2), with the results show at 5.40pm the following evening (December 3). A last-16 World Cup knock-out game between the winner of Group C and the runner-up of Group D will then be broadcast at 6.20pm.

The BBC states that the musicals special will open with a dance extravaganza performed by the show’s professional dancers alongside West End legends Marisha Wallace, Ivano Turco and Trevor Dion Nicholas. The remaining couples will then take to the ballroom floor with more incredible routines inspired by the world of musical theatre.

Meanwhile, the semi-finals will be shown at 7.15pm on Sunday, December 11 due to the BBC showing a World Cup quarter-final match.

The Strictly results will then be shown on Monday, December 12 at 8.15pm, with It Takes Two being shown immediately afterwards on BBC Two at 9pm.

Irene Cara, ‘Fame’ and ‘Flashdance’ Singer, Dies at 63.

Actress and singer Irene Cara, an Oscar and Grammy winner best known for the theme songs of “Fame” and “Flashdance” in the early ’80s, has died, her publicist said. She was 63. “Please share your thoughts and memories of Irene,” Judith Moose said in a tweet announcing the singer’s death. “I’ll be reading each and every one of them and know she’ll be smiling from Heaven. She adored her fans. “She was a beautifully gifted soul whose legacy will live forever through her music and films.”

Cara died in her Florida home. The cause of death is unknown, according to Moose’s statement.

As a youth, Cara appeared on TV’s “Electric Company” before acting as a teen in the movies “Aaron Loves Angela” and “Sparkle.”

Her breakthrough came as Coco Hernandez in the 1980 musical “Fame,” about New York’s High School for the Performing Arts. She had a hit record with that movie’s title song, and another with the ballad “Out Here on My Own.” She was nominated for a Golden Globe and two Grammys that year.
Three years later, Cara co-wrote the lyrics for “Flashdance… What a Feeling,” another radio smash for which she received an Oscar for Best Original Song and a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female.

She had a few other hits, including “Why Me” and “Breakdance.” She also acted in movies such as “City Heat” with Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood, “D.C. Cab” with Mr. T and “Certain Fury” with Tatum O’Neal.
