Strictly results leaked as fans rage at latest star to be eliminated from show

Strictly Come Dancing fans have reacted in fury after details leaked over who has been voted off the show before the results episode has even aired.

Saturday night saw the remaining contestants hit the dance floor to showcase their latest routines – following a week of setbacks for the series as actor Robert Webb was forced to quit the current season due to ill health and sportsman Ugo Monye was forced to pull out of Saturday’s show due to surgery.

While the Saturday show is aired live, the Sunday show records immediately after – but does not air for 24 hours after the main episode has aired.

As a result, the fall-out of the judges votes – and those cast by the viewing public – are ultimately revealed hours before they make it to air.

And on Saturday night, the result of the vote was allegedly unveiled by a leak following the taping of the Sunday night show.

To say that fans are outraged would be an understatement as one fan raged on Twitter that it was the “wrong decision” – while another begged that the rumoured results: “STOP”.

However, others stated that the outcome may have been right as one fan tweeted that the leaked result was the “obvious” outcome following Saturday’s show.

The Mirror have decided not to spoil the alleged outcome.

Feedback from the judges did give glowing results to some of Saturday night’s dancers – while others fared less well.

Actress Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice won high praise from the judges during Saturday night’s show.

Head judge Shirley Ballas told them: "You've definitely lifted the level of your latin dancing," while Craig Revel Horwood said he's "loving the partnership", between Rose and Giovanni.

While McFly star Tom Fletcher and his partner Amy Dowden also received warm critiques.

Anton described their dance as "marvellous" but pointed out a few mistakes and told Tom that he needs to work on his arms.

Motsi Mabuse said she "genuinely loved" it and described the routine as "classy" and "just shining".

When it came to the scores, Tom and Amy received a total of 29 - leaving the pop star "very happy".

Meanwhile Tilly Ramsay and her dance partner, Nikita Kuzmin, won praise from all the judges.

Actor Greg Wise danced the Samba next with his professional partner Karen Hauer but failed to get good feedback.

Shirley told him: "Not your best dance for me today," as Greg told her: "I got very nervous."

And Craig didn't choose to soften the blow as he said: "You look like you just came out of a double hip operation!"

The couple received 19 points from the judges.

While Loose Women star Judi Love and her professional partner Graziano Di Prima didn’t fare well with the judges either.

Craig slammed the performance as “wrong” – but Shirley and fellow judge Anton Du Beke said she had done well.

While same-sex pairing John Whaite and dance pro Johannes Radebe also got bad feedback – with Craig saying he was not “fond” of their American Smooth.

Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight on BBC One at 7:10pm.
