“[Kim] opened her UK flagship shop in London at the end of July and is trying to coincide a visit to the store with watching Chris in action at Elstree,” the source told the publication.

When does Strictly Come Dancing start?
Strictly Come Dancing begins this Saturday (September 19, 2026). The launch show starts at 7.25pm on BBC One with its brand new presenting line up of Emma Willis, Johannes Radebe and Josh Widdecombe.

The celebrities will meet their professional partners before performing together in one big group number. The following week is when the competition really begins with the first live show of the series.
