Strictly Come Dancing fans rage as spoiler result leaks online

Strictly's latest axed celebrity has been leaked online - and fans are not happy.
The competition really heated up this week with the addition of a Samba-thon, which saw all the contestants compete against one anotther on the dance floor. The dance-athons are controversial every year, with many proving rather chaotic and the scores added to that of their main dance. This can have the potential to tip the leaderboard upside down.
Each week, the results show is pre-recorded on the Saturday evening after the live show, but airs on the Sunday. The Mirror knows the name of the celebrity leaving but won't be naming them.

After the Strictly result leaked overnight, fans flocked to X - formerly Twitter - to vent their frustration. One fumed: "Gutted for them." While another commented: "I'm shocked at this" and a third wrote: "I’m not one to moan at these things usually, but what a ridiculous result."
Another raged: "Disgraceful neither should have been there!!!!" One gasped: "WHAT?! I thought one of them would be in the bottom not both of them!" A fan fumed: "OH HELL NO!"
Others suggested that certain celebrities had been "stitched up" by implementing the Samba-thon. One fan tweeted: "I think the "sambathon" was put in to try and get certain celebrities down the leaderboard and make the dance-off easier for the judges and it's backfired."
On Saturday evening, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec soared to the top after scoring the first perfect 40 of the series with their show-stopping American Smooth to Lewis Capaldi's Someone You Loved. The dance, which the pro dedicated to his young daughter, left Shirley Ballas "speechless" and Anton Du Beke in tears, saying it reminded him of "why we dance".
Top place in the Samba-thon, however, went to JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, who came joing top of the leaderboard after scoring 39 for their Charleston to Yes Sir! That’s My Baby by Firehouse Five Plus Two.
Sitting at the bottom of the leaderboard were Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał, who struggled to impress with their Tango to Phil Collins and Phil Bailey’s 1984 song Easy Lover, which they scored just 29 for. Their Samba scored trhem an additional three points after they came fifth out of the seven couples.
Just sitting above them on the leaderboard were Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas, who scored a total of 34 for the two dances, and Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell, who scored 34. Chris and Dianne came bottom of the Samba-thon.
