GRAB your dancing shoes, Strictly is returning and our Saturday nights are set to become a lot brighter.
But if you’re jetting off, fear not: here’s how to watch Strictly Come Dancing abroad.
Strictly Come Dancing is back on our TVs at last and we’re already looking forward to a much-needed dose of glitz and glamour.
The show officially kicks off on Saturday 23 September, so don’t worry, you haven’t missed anything yet.
Last weekend saw the Strictly Come Dancing pairs revealed as Zara McDermott bags favourite Graziano Di Prima and Bobby Brazier partners with Dianne Buswell.
In fact, some eagle-eyed Strictly fans ‘work out’ which couple will win this year’s show after spotting ‘clue’ during the pairings.
But fans heading abroad will run into issues streaming the show on-demand as like many other platforms, BBC iPlayer is only available in the UK and is geo-restricted.
However, there’s an easy and fab-u-lous way to get around this: download a VPN such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN.
We will explain below how to watch Strictly outside the UK and keep you dancing through 2023.
How to watch Strictly Come Dancing abroad
You’ll first need to download a VPN, such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN onto the device you’ll be streaming iPlayer from.
Then, load the VPN and select a UK server, which will (legally) reroute your IP address to the UK.
You’ll then be able to head to iPlayer and stream Strictly Come Dancing with no trouble.
Is Strictly Come Dancing live on iPlayer?
Yes! As long as you have yourself set up with a VPN you’ll be able to stream Strictly live on BBC iPlayer, but remember, you will need to be a licence-payer to watch any UK TV from abroad.
