Concern is spreading among Strictly Come Dancing fans ahead of Sunday night's results show, with many fearing a potential voting loophole could dramatically alter the outcome of the competition.
The Musicals Week Showdown
The remaining five celebrities are set to perform once more on Saturday, 6th December 2025, battling for a coveted spot in next weekend's semi-final. George Clarke, Amber Davies, Karen Carney, Balvinder Sopal, and Lewis Cope will all take to the floor with their professional partners for a special Musicals Week edition of the hit BBC show.
However, the excitement for the performances is being overshadowed by viewer anxiety over the subsequent public vote. Fans have taken to social media to express worries that some supporters are exploiting the system by creating numerous accounts to cast extra votes for their favourites.
Public Support and Controversy
The competition is particularly tense this year. Balvinder Sopal has garnered a huge wave of public backing, having survived an unprecedented five dance-offs in the show's history. Meanwhile, former footballer Karen Carney is considered a frontrunner, tipped by bookmakers and even professional dancer Dianne Buswell to potentially lift the Glitterball Trophy.
Conversely, Lewis Cope and Amber Davies have faced some criticism from portions of the audience due to their prior stage dance experience, despite delivering consistently high-scoring performances. Amber is currently starring in Legally Blonde the Musical, while Lewis performed in Billy Elliot as a child.
Viewer Reactions and Multiple Account Claims
The discussion on platform X (formerly Twitter) has been dominated by talk of strategic voting. One anxious fan wrote: "Really nervous for Lewis. All the George, Karen and Bal fans are saying they've made 50+ accounts to vote. I just hope Lewis gets a 40 for his salsa, that'll help."
Another viewer openly admitted to their tactics, posting: "Preparing my 1839304 alt accounts to vote for Amber and Lewis tonight I am ready." A supporter of Karen Carney added: "Whatever happens tonight I just hope to god that our Kaz is safe. I'll literally make 10 BBC accounts if needed to ensure she's safe."
This perceived 'voting hack' has left many loyal viewers feeling uneasy, concerned that the integrity of the public vote could be compromised, leading to an unexpected and potentially controversial elimination.
The Strictly Come Dancing results show will air on Sunday, 7th December 2025, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, starting at 7.45pm.
