BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans left devastated over star's exit as spoilers leaked

As remaining contestants took to the dancefloor for Blackpool Week, the next celebrity to be eliminated from the show has been leaked ahead of the results.

The outcome of the dreaded dance-off, filmed straight after Saturday's live show (November 16), won't officially be announced until Sunday night (November 17).

Despite the 's best efforts to keep the spoilers leaking for 24 hours, the identity of the eliminated pairings have regularly been spoiled online every Saturday since 2012.

Once again, this week has been no different as one couple has departed, although Express.co.uk have decided not to reveal which couple was axed.

Taking to social media, fans shared their thoughts. Posting on X/Twitter, one viewer wrote: "This is expected! Dance wasn't great unfortunately."

Another added: "No surprise with the first person in the dance off, she wasn't great tonight unfortunately," while a third said: "I actually thought this first person might be in the dance off as they had a bad week and a foregettable dance... Not one of those I was hoping to see there but hey..."

This week, Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec once again topped the leaderboard with a score of 39. The pair were joined at the top by Sarah Hadland and her partner Vito Coppola, who also scored 39.

Last week saw Shayne Ward being eliminated after losing out in the dance-off against Wynne Evans and his professional partner Katya Jones.

After his exit was announced, Shayne said: "I just want to say, you guys up there [the other contestants] are a dream. Every single day, coming in here and seeing you guys you helped me so much.

"I want to say thank you to the audience as well, for always being amazing for us all. This has been, honestly, one of the best things I've ever done."

The actor also thanked Nancy Xu, his professional partner, for her help and support. He explained: "I'm proud that I made it to eight weeks as a novice dancer.

"A massive thank you goes to this incredible human right next to me [Nancy], who has put so much fire in me and made me believe that I can actually achieve more if I let myself go."
