A Strictly Come Dancing fan favourite has been sent home. The live show revealed that former Love Island star Amber Davies and her partner Nikita Kuzmin had topped the leaderboard after their Paso Doble.
However, not everybody was celebrating with a string of stars failing to score over 30. Now, the spoiler has revealed that a huge celebrity has been sent home. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan fumed: “According to reports the person that left tonight had a fall in the dance off and that’s why they have gone. I AM HEARTBROKEN.”
A second went on to write: “Nah I’m actually devastated icl [I can’t lie]. Can’t believe that celeb has gone home but so happy the other celeb is still here and survived the dance off again.”

“Actually think this is the most shocking bottom 2 in years,” said another. Meanwhile, a fourth penned: “Shocking decision from the judges narratively but makes sense based on how well they actually danced.” “Only my opinion but I think it’s one of the first times this series the wrong person has gone,” added a fifth disgruntled viewer.
This week, it was Craig Revel Horwood who had the deciding vote on who should be sent packing from the competition. This week proved to be difficult for the celebs, with an unlikely star, with the likes of George Clarke and Alexis Warr, Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon, as well as Vicky Pattinson and Kai Widdrington, found themselves in bother.
Meanwhile, Emmerdale’s Lewis Cope and Katya Jones found themselves towards the top of the leaderboard. Despite Craig’s brutal comments towards Vicky, fellow judge Motsi Mabuse praised the Geordie Shore satar, saying: “Choreography has gone up a level in difficulty, you’re out sunshine,” while Anton Du Beke praised her for her “wonderfully performed” Jive to Sound of The Underground by Girls Aloud.
While the main show airs live on a Saturday evening, the results show is filmed immediately after the live show is screened, with the same audience sitting in for both. As such, the audience is aware of who has gone home almost a full day before the wider public is.
To prevent the result leaking, audience members are not allowed to have their mobile phones in the studio, and those who bring phones with them are required to hand them over to security.
They can collect their phones when they leave. However, the celebrities, their family and friends, pro dancers and production crew are all allowed to keep their mobile phones.
Despite the tight control on communication from the audience to the outside world, spoilers for the results show have continued to leak as it is filmed, making some wonder how this is possible.
Spoilers have long been an issue on the show, but this is the first year where they have leaked as filming is still underway. A source told the Sun that spoilers “plague” the show.
“Spoilers have plagued Strictly for years with fans struggling to avoid finding out who leaves before the Sunday results show airs. Now, results are ending up online while the cameras are still rolling.”
This weeks exit is set to be a double blow for the star, who has narrowly missed out on the chance to dance at Blackpool’s famous Tower Ballroom next weekend, which will see four previous contestants return in a rather unexpected move.
Strictly Come Dancing: The Results airs at 7:15pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
