BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans upset as week four results are leaked

Strictly Come Dancing fans have all been left saying the same thing as the week four spoilers leaked - and they "weren't expecting" the result

Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts have all expressed similar reactions to the leaked spoilers for week four, with many saying they "weren't expecting" the outcome. Each week, an insider from the Strictly studios shares the results with spoiler blog StrictlySpoiler.com, managed by Dave Thorp.

Since the results show is taped immediately after Saturday's live broadcast and not filmed live on the following day, the leaks are usually spot on. The programme takes great measures to conceal that the results show is recorded on the same day, including a complete costume change for all participants and references to "yesterday" and "last night" throughout the episode.

As is customary, the blog advised its readers to direct their "complaints to the BBC " instead of the spoiler site – but after learning who was in the dance-off and who was eliminated, viewers chose to share their opinions online.

One said: "I was about to be disappointed that there was no Strictly spoiler but then Dave came through! " A third shared: "I agree with the result. The right couple was saved."

While another added: "Right choice to go.", reports the Mirror.

This follows an initial delay in the spoiler release on Saturday night (October 12), which caused concern among fans.

Dave cautioned: "Just a heads up that it could be very late with the spoiler tonight or even tomorrow as no moles have come forward as yet."

"No moles never means no spoiler and I will post the spoiler as soon as I know so no need to bombard me with messages on the socials asking if I've heard yet! " According to reports, the BBC is taking measures against spoilers, with an insider expressing their frustration: "Enough is enough, it isn't fair on the fans, they look forward to tuning in to see who will be dancing together."

In last night's show, Dr Punam Krishan and her dance partner Gorka Marquez finished at the bottom of the leaderboard, while DIY SOS's Nick Knowles was just a notch above with a score of 21. Meanwhile, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec led the pack with an impressive 39 points, followed closely by Jamie Borthwick and Wynne Evans, who scored 34.
