First, make sure your snacks are within arm’s reach. You do not want to miss a costume malfunction because you went to the kitchen for more crisps. Second, accept that you will be tired tomorrow. It’s a small price to pay for the joy of watching a former athlete attempt a rumba.

To answer your question directly: Usually, the main show ends about 8:40 pm. But if it’s a results show? Add forty minutes of torture where they tease the dance-off and make you wait through a professional routine. That ends around 9:15 pm.
And if it’s an extended results show? Call your boss now. Tell them you’ll be late. Because you’ll be up until 10 pm, watching Claudia Winkleman’s fringe get progressively more chaotic.
Let’s be real: you’re not looking for a clock time. You’re looking for an excuse. An excuse to stay awake a little longer. An excuse to laugh at your mate’s dodgy text messages about Shirley’s judging. The time doesn’t matter. The glitter does.
So, grab your cuppa. Turn the sound up loud enough to wake the cat. And when the final credits roll at some point between 8:40 pm and midnight, don’t even check your watch. Just nod, smile, and know that tomorrow, your only regret will be that you have to wait a whole week to do it all over again. It’s strictly worth it.
