'Strictly Come Dancing' video game cancelled

Strictly Come Dancing's tie-in video game has been cancelled.

The Ubisoft-published project was originally due to be released before Christmas.

"BBC Worldwide decided last year not to proceed with a console game for Strictly Come Dancing until we could be sure we would match fan expectations for the brand," a BBC spokesperson told MCV.



BBC Worldwide has since revealed that another Strictly Come Dancing game will be announced later this month.

"However we now have a major new Strictly game in development, the details of which we'll announce later this month."

Harry Judd and partner Aliona Vilani were crowned last year's Strictly Come Dancing champions.

The McFly drummer triumphed over Chelsee Healey and Jason Donovan to pick up the show's famous Glitterball trophy.
