Leaked Strictly spoiler leaves fans devastated as bottom two slammed as a 'mess'

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left shocked as this week's exit result was leaked online this morning.

There are still ten couples left and at week seven we've passed the halfway point.

And as the spoiler leaked of who would be leaving, devastated fans rushed to social media to share their upset over who had been in the bottom two – as they expressed their shock at the celebrity who had exited in the seventh week.

"Shame to see them go as they've clearly been having an amazing time and working really hard," one fan tweeted.

"Major sad. I had a feeling but so sad to see this couple leave," another added.

"This week's result is a MESS," a third wrote.

The Mirror has chosen not to reveal who was in the bottom two, or who departed the programme this week.

The spoiler has been a hot topic of conversation recenlty, as the BBC considered filming their Sunday night show live to stop the leaks from happening. Currently, the Sunday show is filmed on Saturday straight after the main show.

Anton du Beke has urged people not to spoil the results for others by leaking it online.

"It gets on my nerves. Please stop. I don’t know who you are but please stop. Don’t do it. Why would you do it? Nobody knows who it is," the judge said earlier this week, "The audience, like the people who go to [Agatha Christie murder mystery play] The Mousetrap for example, which has been going for years, we’re all in it together.

"Knowledge is power and all that sort of stuff, everyone has an agreement we won’t say anything, so I don’t know who it."

Meanwhile, David Thorpe, the person behind the infamous Strictly spoiler, insists people "want to know" – but told The Mirror he doesn't spoil it for people who don't want to know, only targeting those who are interested to find out.

"I mean, as far as the people who are accessing it go through me, they are actively seeking it out. They want to know," David Thorpe, who has been running his spoiler website since 2012, told The Mirror, "So I'm not spoiling it for people who don’t want to know and I do my very best not to – I try limit it to those who want to find out. People google the results and hit my website through searching.

"If there wasn’t a demand for the information to be out there, my site wouldn’t get as many hits as it does."

*Strictly Come Dancing returns on Sunday at 6.45pm on BBC One.
