Strictly Come Dancing is to return to its old two-show format for the final three rounds of the series, it has emerged.

According to The Mirror, BBC schedulers have decided to make room for a separate results instalment which will air on Saturday nights after ITV1's The X Factor from next month.

Fans currently see the ballroom performances, results announcement, dance-off and elimination all in the same episode. This arrangement was introduced for the first time this year.

Insiders have claimed that the latest change is being made so viewers have more time to vote as the competition reaches its final stages.

A source said: "The current 15-minute window doesn't give enough time for the calls to get through as the contest hots up."

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 6.50pm on BBC One.
