'Strictly' launch to avoid 'X Factor' clash...

Strictly Come Dancing will avoid The X Factor when it launches later this month.



The upcoming tenth series will premiere from 6.30-7.35pm on Saturday, September 15 on BBC One.

Meanwhile, The X Factor will be broadcast at 8.10pm-9.10pm on ITV1, meaning the rival shows will avoid a similar clash that occurred with The Voice UK and Britain's Got Talent earlier this year.

Strictly Come Dancing will therefore overlap with only You've Been Framed and Dom Joly's Fool Britannia.

However, Doctor Who will overlap with The X Factor by 10 minutes.

It has yet to be determined whether Strictly Come Dancing will avoid The X Factor throughout their entire runs.

Strictly judges Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli will return for the tenth series, alongside new member Darcey Bussell.
