Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left shocked as the results of the week eight elimination show were leaked online on Sunday morning.
Viewers branded the show result ‘totally unfair’ and claimed the judges ‘had it in’ for the celebrity who has missed out on next week’s Blackpool Special.
The BBC show will air its results show tonight after it was filmed on Saturday night, however the next celebrity name to be sent packing is already circulating on X.
Many were surprised at who ended up in the bottom two and had to dance their routines for a second time.
But it seems the judges had a split decision when voting who to send home and it was head judge Shirley Ballas who had the final say.

Others fans expressed their annoyance at the leak which has been common most Sundays during recent series due to a notorious mole.
‘Unfortunately the judges had it in for XXX from the start.’
‘I think Craig and Motsi were correct. Shirley probably just wanted to use her ‘head judge’ status. Feel sorry for the person who left;’
‘Such a shame. I thought XXX was overmarked and should’ve gone;’
‘I personally don’t like the one they saved. I’m fuming for who Shirley voted out. I think she should go, Craig should be head judge!;’
‘Shirley getting casting vote is a joke ..if it’s 2-2 should come down to audience vote;’
During this weeks show, Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu found themselves at the bottom of the judges leaderboard with their Rumba as they scored 30 points.

But it was Pete Wicks that left BBC viewers in tears during his emotional performance which paid tribute to his nan.
The former TOWIE stary, 36, was very close to his nan Doreen who died in 2022. He previously described her passing as ‘the hardest time of his life’.
Pete and his dance partner Jowita Przystal performed their routine to The Best, a song originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler and made famous by Tina Turner.
The reality star was praised by the judges for his performance and received his first perfect 10 score from Shirley Ballas who said his dance made her emotional.
