Strictly Come Dancing fans outraged over bottom two as results spoilers leak

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were miffed on Saturday night as spoilers for the BBC programme leaked again.

Strictly spoilers were able to come out as Sunday's show is always filmed in advance the day before. Thus, the booted celebrity's names make the rounds online and on social media long before hits TV screens.

The names of those who participated in the dance-off and this Sunday's unlucky contestant were circulating on the hashtag #strictlyspoiler within 30 minutes, according to The Mirror.

We will keep mum as to who left, but fans were shocked and disappointed with some hitting out at the judges.

Viewers vented their frustration online, with one person tweeting: "The #strictlyspoiler is RIDICULOUS tonight if true."

Another person tweeted: "the judges play the biggest role, overmarking some, undermarking others which causes people to maybe vote differently, the leaderboard was wrong to start with so it affects everything."

Someone else agreed and posted: "The marking tonight was the worst it's ever been. It's been bad for weeks."

And another added: "Omg that’s a shock!!" while someone else replied: "Definitely a shock!"

One more Strictly fan posted: "i really don't like the #StrictlySpoiler tonight."

Week eight of the competition saw Rhys Stephenson top the leaderboard after he and his partner Nancy Xu were awarded a total of 40 for their incredible Charleston.

Close behind them was EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis with her partner Giovanni Pernice who scored 39 for their Couple's Choice routine.

John Whaite and Johannes Radebe weren't far behind with their score of 38, while Sara Davies and Aljaž Škorjanec received 32.

Tom Fletcher and Amy Dowden were chuffed with their score of 30, while Tilly Ramsay and Dan Walked sat in joint place with 29.

AJ Odudu and her partner Kai Widdrington sadly found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard after scoring 28.

Strictly Come Dancing will air tonight (Sunday) at 7:20pm on BBC One.
