Strictly Come Dancing is pulling out of its annual Grand Final show at Blackpool Tower.

 

The new series is due to start in September....but the glittering December event won't be in the ballroom.

In a statement from the BBC, they've told us

Strictly has enjoyed a fabulous relationship with Blackpool over the years but it's a mammoth logistical exercise and on this occasion the decision has been taken to put resource into other areas of the show. Though we're sad not to be going to Blackpool, it's not to say we won't return in the future.

We've been speaking to Iain Hawkins who is the boss of Merlin Entertainments in Blackpool.
