Strictly Come Dancing fans stunned as Blackpool eviction spoiler is leaked online
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have been left shocked after the result of the Blackpool Special was revealed.
The BBC One show headed to the northern seaside resort for its annual show at the iconic Tower Ballroom last night.
And Strictly‘s yearly trip out didn’t disappoint, with the judges pulling out a host of 10-paddles through the live.
Yet viewers have been left declaring “it’s about time” after an online spoiler revealed the results of Saturday’s dance off and elimination.
The Sun is keeping the identity of the celebrity booted off a secret, so as not to spoil it for viewers before they watch the Results Show tonight.
Yet we can report the judges made a unanimous decision in Blackpool – so there was no need for head judge Shirley Ballas to cast a deciding vote.
While viewers were shocked the result had leaked at all, they appeared happy at the outcome.
One took to X to muse: “The result I expected.”
Another added: “The right decision from the two in the dance off,” as a third put: “Expected it to be honest.”
One simply added: “It’s about time.”
Another appeared relieved as they put: “Well thank god for that. I did worry it might go the other way for a second.”
During the episode, which was week nine of the long-running series, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec scooped top marks of 39 for their Paso Doble.
All judges dished out a 10 bar Craig Revel Horwood, who pulled out a nine-paddle.
Meanwhile, TOWIE’s Pete Wicks and partner Jowita Przystal were tipping the other end of the table with 27 for their Cha Cha Cha.
During the live episode, fans pleaded for Head Judge Shirley Ballas to be given the boot after they claimed she “overmarked” Pete.

She pulled out an eight score for their routine to Right Said Fred’s I’m Too Sexy.
Pete dressed for the occasion in a pair of skintight pink PVC trousers and fur jacket.
Yet The Sun exclusively revealed how Shirley clapped back and said: “I’m not going anywhere.”
Meanwhile, the judges were also the centre of attention as their group opening routine went wrong.
Additionally, Craig came under fire for a bizarre comment during his analysis.
Vito Coppola and actress Sarah Hadland performed their Fosse jazz inspired Couple’s Choice in the impressive Blackpool ballroom to Pad Dam by Kylie Minogue.
Yet in his comments, Craig labelled the performance as being “a bit too perfect”.
He told the pair: “It was a little bit too perfect. It lacked attitude in those still moments to bring you out of the crowd.”
His comments earned an eye roll from fellow judges with Motsi Mabuse exclaiming: “We used to celebrate too perfect!”
