The results of this week's Strictly Come Dancing elimination have been revealed prematurely, sending shockwaves through the show's dedicated fanbase after the outcome was leaked online.
While the BBC will not officially confirm which celebrity has left the competition until the pre-recorded results show airs on Sunday evening, the news has already spread across social media, leaving many viewers feeling 'gutted' and 'devastated'.
Fan Reaction to the Leaked Result
The online revelation has created a split among the show's followers. One stunned fan exclaimed, "Holy - that I was NOT expecting. absolutely the correct decision though." This sentiment of surprise was echoed by another who declared, "I can't believe it!!!!! I'm absolutely devastated."
Not everyone was completely shocked, however. A different viewer commented, "Not the biggest surprise after this evening's show, but overall they have been lovely to watch." Meanwhile, another expressed deep disappointment, simply stating, "I am gutted with this elimination." The result was so unexpected for some that one fan demanded, "I'm sorry, I want a second opinion here. I don't believe for one minute they would save the person in question between those two."
Context of the Latest Strictly Exit
This latest departure from the glittering ballroom follows the recent, enforced exit of drag artist La Voix. She was initially forced to miss a week due to an injury, but last week the elimination was cancelled entirely as La Voix and her professional partner, Aljaž Škorjanec, made their permanent exit from the competition.
Speaking about her sudden departure, an emotional La Voix said, "This has been the most extraordinary experience of my entire life. What I loved most, don't hate me, it's not the dancing but it's just being welcomed by everyone. I came into the show as a minority, as a redhead, and you've embraced me wonderfully. I cannot thank you enough, it's been amazing."
The show continues its tradition of filming the results on Saturday night after the live performance show, which consistently leads to the outcome being shared on social media long before its official BBC broadcast.
