Strictly Come Dancing results leaked with viewers fuming over dance-off format

Strictly Come Dancing fans are not happy after the outcome of the third elimination of the series was leaked. Hours after the live show aired on Saturday, October 16 the week four dance-off results were posted online.

Saturday night's episode saw the 13 remaining celebrities perform with their professional partners for the fourth time. The show also saw the return of the fan-favourite Couple’s Choice category, as well as the first Argentine Tango of the series.

Wildlife presenter Hamza Yassin came out top on the leaderboard after his daring Salsa scored an impressive 39/40. Kiss FM DJ Tyler West and singer Fleur East followed close behind, with CBBC star Molly Rainford also performing well. Meanwhile, at the other end of the table, singer Matt Goss found himself at the bottom of the pile, with just 20 points out of a possible 40.

Footballing legend Tony Adams and actor Will Mellor – who had been unwell for most of the week – were also in danger. The bottom two are decided by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes. Couples with the fewest overall votes perform again in the dance-off.

Although the weekly results aren't revealed until Sunday evening, it is actually filmed straight after the main programme on Saturday night. Therefore, members of the studio audience know the results before it is aired.

This week ahead of Sunday's show, last night's results have been leaked on social media, BirminghamLive reports. After seeing the major spoiler, fans of the hit BBC dance show have been left gobsmacked by the couples who found themselves in the bottom two.

Writing on Twitter, @gosulli commented: "Think I just saw a Spoiler for who leaves Strictly (just popped up on my timeline out of nowhere) - curse those spoiler people - why can’t you just find out yourself if you want and let everyone else stick to the schedule!”

@KickAssCantona2 added: "Gutted with the result." @WhoPotterVian said: “Here's an idea: if you don't want the result to leak, how about airing it live on the same night instead?”

@kevmthomas complained: "@Twitter please can you tweak your algorithm so that @StrictlySpoiler only shows up on the feeds of people who actually follow the account. We don't all want to know the result before the Sunday evening show is broadcast."
