Strictly Come Dancing Results Leaked Early, Sparking Fan Debate

The results for this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing were revealed to the public ahead of schedule, causing a stir amongst the show's dedicated fanbase. The identity of the eliminated celebrity was leaked online several hours before the official results show was broadcast on Sunday evening.

Fan Reaction Split Over Surprise Exit

Viewers expressed a mixture of shock and agreement upon learning which couple had been voted off the popular BBC dance competition. The early spoiler, which emerges weekly due to the Sunday results show being pre-recorded on Saturday night, led to a flurry of comments on social media platform X.

One baffled fan questioned the outcome, posting: "I swear [they] were higher on the leaderboard? Was there a mistake or something?" Another was in clear disbelief, simply stating: "No, no way." A different viewer commented on the judges' decision, remarking: "Thought the judges would have saved them," while another lamented the departure as a "such a shame."

However, not all viewers were disappointed. Some believed the correct decision was made, with one supporter writing "The correct result," and a second agreeing, "Absolutely the correct decision."

Week 7 Leaderboard Sees Vicky Pattison on Top

The elimination followed a high-scoring week of competition. Reality television personality Vicky Pattison and her professional partner Kai Widdrington claimed the top spot on the leaderboard for week 7.

The former Geordie Shore star, 37, earned an impressive 39 points for her Tango performed to a Taylor Swift song, receiving three perfect 10s from the judges for what was hailed as the "dance of the night".

Securing second place were West End performer Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin. Their energetic Salsa garnered two 10s, achieving a combined score of 38 points – their highest of the series so far.
