The Strictly Come Dancing spoiler has struck again – and, as always, fans of the hit BBC show are shook about the latest result.

Fans of the long-running dance contest will be well aware that the BBC airs the Saturday night episode live as it happens – and then immediately after records the results show that airs on Sunday nights. While the cast and crew are sworn to secrecy over who gets voted off week after week, there are moles working on the show who gleefully release the details hours before they are due to be revealed on the show.

On Saturday night, fans watched the cast take to the floor to perform a Rumba, Waltz, Samba, Cha-cha-cha and more. The judges scored the couples – with the stars with the least scores hoping the public would vote to keep them in the contest. Those found to have the absolute lowest scores would then face the dance off.

As is now practically tradition, a Strictly Spoiler social media and website account holder has ruined the news by leaking the results hours early. And while the Mirror has witnessed the shock news, we have decided not to reveal who is allegedly being asked to leave the dancfloor and never return.

Fans who have witnessed the result, however, have been let gobsmaked by the outcome. Taking to X aka Twitter, one fan raged: “actually so annoyed at this??? neither of the couples in the dance off deserved to be there when they’ve improved week after week and then there’s others that have had several bad weeks and keep sailing through.”

“WHAT?! I’M FLOORED!! This has fully pissed me off actually,” another raged after reading the shock result online, with a third adding: “I’m sorry what!! My first question is why was either couple in the dance off??!! And 2nd why are the worse ones still in?” A fourth declared: “what the hell did i just saw ??? the two couples in the dance off was not supposed to be in the dance off to begin with.”

While actress Sarah Hadland and her dance partner Vito Coppola took to the floor to show off their Cha-cha-cha.

Blind comedian Chris McCausland performed the Tango with his dance partner Dianne Buswell, and Olympic star Sam Quek glided across the ballroom floor to perform her American Smooth with dance partner Nikita Kuzmin.
