Strictly Come Dancing was forced to ban studio audiences for the first time in show history due to the lockdown.
As the new rules go into effect on Thursday, tickets will be canceled for anyone who expects to see the show live in November.
The show has confirmed that it will not sell more tickets to live shows “until we make sure it is safe and compliant”.
A spokesman said: “In light of the new lockdown measures coming into effect in England from Thursday, November 5th, we are saddened to announce that we will not be getting a live studio audience for Strictly Come Dancing in November.

“Ticket owners have been notified.
“No tickets will be sent for December shows until we are sure it is safe and appropriate to welcome the audience back, so keep checking back for updates.
“We will continue to follow government guidelines.”
