Strictly Come Dancing has been hit by another major spoiler leak, revealing the celebrity eliminated from the competition ahead of the official results show, and fans are expressing their shock and devastation online.
Results Leaked Ahead of Schedule
The identity of the star who will be leaving the hit BBC show, filmed on Saturday night but not broadcast until Sunday, has been prematurely revealed. This marks yet another instance where the confidential outcome has been made public before the scheduled airing, potentially by members of the live studio audience who witness the final dance-off and the judges' decision.
The leak is a particularly crushing blow for the departing celebrity, as it means they will not be part of the show's highly anticipated trip to the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom next week. With this elimination, only eight celebrities remain in the competition, all vying for the coveted Glitterball Trophy.
Leaderboard Standings and Fan Fury
This week's leaderboard was topped by Amber Davies with an impressive 38 points, closely followed by Lewis Cope in second place with 37 points. Meanwhile, Balvinder Sopal and Vicky Pattison found themselves tied at the bottom with just 27 points each.
However, the contestants with the lowest scores are not automatically sent home, as the combined tally from the judges' scores and the public vote determines who ultimately stays and who goes. Despite this, bookmakers had currently tipped Balvinder Sopal, an EastEnders actress who has been in the bottom two more than once, as the most likely to be eliminated.
Fans of the show took to social media platform X to voice their disbelief and disappointment at the leaked result. One user exclaimed, "What the heck?? #strictlyspoiler", while another described the news as "crazy". A third reacted with, "what the actual f***?? #StrictlySpoiler," and a fourth devastated fan posted, "Tonight's #StrictlySpoiler WTF I AM DEVASTATED!"
The Road to Blackpool
The focus now shifts to Blackpool, a milestone week in the Strictly calendar celebrated for its spectacular performances on the famous sprung floor. The remaining eight couples will be training hard to secure their place and dazzle the judges and audience in one of the most iconic venues in the dancing world.
