It had 2 extra shows, The Saturday night BBC Three host was Zoe Ball and the nightly BBC3 roundup & fanzine program was hosted by Joe Mace.[1] It was, in many ways, similar to the BBC’s popular Strictly Come Dancing, a celebrity based dance contest also broadcast on Saturday evenings. On 12 December 2006, the BBC announced that Strictly Dance Fever had been axed in favour of the Andrew Lloyd Webber talent search, How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?.
