BREAKING. Strictly Come Dancing returning for a new 6th season to South African television - but this time it will be on SABC3.

You're reading it here first. 

I can exclusively break the news and reveal that Strictly Come Dancing will hopefully be back on South African TV screens for a new local 6th season - but with one catch: the show is ditching SABC2 for SABC3 as the new TV channel.

This "floor format show" as it's called in the biz is the second big tentpole reality show SABC2 is losing after SA's Got Talent (which is starting next week Thursday) jumped ship to e.tv.

"It's a new and local season. It will only be going out hopefully early next year," insider sources are telling exclusively.

In April I exclusively revealed that insiders told me that SA's Got Talent, So You Think You Can Dance and Stricly Come Dancing would all be back with further new local seasons on South African television - but not necessarily on the TV channels where viewers saw them last.

I was then told that all 3 shows are in development for further new seasonsfor this year. Now Strictly Come Dancing, based on the British format of the same name, has been moved to possibly early 2013, but is definitely switching from SABC2 to SABC3.
