BBC presenter slammed for giving away major Strictly spoiler ahead of dance-off

Gabby Logan appeared to drop a major hint about Tyler West's future on Strictly Come Dancing ahead of the results show airing on Sunday (October 2).

The BBC presenter appeared on screens, anchoring the London Marathon coverage when she chatted with Tyler following his performance on the dance show which aired on Saturday (October 1).

However, Gabby appeared to let slip that Tyler might have sailed through to the next live show as she questioned the radio broadcaster about his dance.

Speaking to Tyler, Gabby said: "I can't believe you're here - I watched you last night, 31 points, the 'real deal' said Shirley Ballas!"

j"Thank you, Shirley Ballas, I don't think I've hardly slept on that comment to be fair," responded Tyler.

However, sports commentator Gabby attempted to try and get a little more out of the broadcaster just hours before the nation tuned in for the results programme.

She asked: "As a massive Strictly fan, what's the next dance? Can we get a little sneak preview?"

Thankfully for Tyler, his dancing partner Dianne Buswell was by his side and quickly replied: "We need to see if we get through first."

Tyler went on to add: "I'm loving every second of it."

Having instantly been shut down by Dianne, Gabby commented: "Oh course, we'll find out tonight, I wonder if you do."

Fans, however, have hit out at Gabby and the Beebs for almost ruining the announcement, with one saying: "Love the fact Gaby putting her and Tyler in an awkward position. #Strictly."

"It's a good job Tyler West wasn't up for the dance-off. He'd be exhausted after his marathon run this morning #Strictly," tweeted a second.

Before a third added: "Why don't they show them Saturday night when they do them. Tyler at a marathon today so wouldn't have been at a Sunday result show."

Each year, the results show is filmed just hours after the live programme wraps filming on Saturday and is aired 24 hours later.

This causes drama amongst fans as the result of who leaves after the famous dance-off is normally leaked on social media hours before the pre-recorded show is aired across the nation.

As the programme returned, Loose Women's Kaye Adams faced singer Matt Goss in the dance-off but it was the Scottish presenter who was sent packing after not being saved by the judges.
